Technology commercialization

LINC not only facilitates the conception of innovative technologies, it works to commercialize and promote them as well. Our members gain an exclusive first-look at research and are given licensing opportunities for new logistics technologies and innovative products. Through its Innovation Center Grant Program, partner companies can take advantage of overhead-free matching funds to help seed research projects of interest.

Joint Facilities

Our direct services are maximized by our central location. LINC is headquartered at Georgia Tech’s Savannah campus and is located close to the Georgia Ports Authority, the Savannah River, two major interstates, an international airport, and many large distribution centers - making it a great resource for logistics businesses.

LINC clients benefit from Georgia Tech's international reputation as a leader in academic research activities as well as its focus on areas with direct impact upon the competitiveness of industry and the nation and its pioneering efforts in support of inter- and multi-disciplinary programs. Best known for applied research, Georgia Tech was recently ranked the leading university in the nation for technology transfer, a characteristic embedded in the economic development mission of LINC.

In addition to the partners on our campus, we continually forge new alliances with industry, state organizations and academic leaders; additionally, LINC works with a variety of universities and educational institutions such as Savannah Technical College, among others.
