ATDC was founded in 1980 for the purpose of helping Georgia entrepreneurs create technology start-ups. The program has been a considerable success, helping launch or assist over 130 companies. These companies have hired thousands of people across Georgia.

ATDC is headquartered at Technology Square in Atlanta with two offices on the campus of Georgia Tech and one in Savannah.
