  19. Why Go Outside of Georgia? • For 125 years, Georgia Tech has been committed to economic development – now that commitment means a global reach. • Gov. Perdue's state of the state address (Jan 07): "Our plan is to grow the Georgia brand in emerging economic engines like Asia, while we also work to strengthen our presence in established markets like Canada. Our world is, indeed, getting flatter," Governor Perdue said.  “The rapid expansion of globalization is a sterling opportunity for Georgia to gain new business."
