The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) has announced the award winners from the 2023 Georgia Technology Summit, held last week. The winners include the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Georgia and the TAG Impact Award.
These winners were invited to share their innovations at the Summit, selected by a committee reviewing 40 submissions. Led by TAG Chair Dennis Zakas, the independent panel of experts and investors narrow the submissions down to the “Top 10” and then, following their presentations at the summit, attendees vote live from their phones for People’s Choice Awards, including Best Overall, Best Exhibit, Coolest Technology, and Best Presentation.
This year’s Top 10 companies are:
- Acivilate
- AdPipe
- DataSeers
- Kobiton
- Loupe
- PDI Technologies
- PrizePicks
- Speedscale
- Vieaura
- Vouch.io
“Congratulations to all the award winners represented at this year’s Georgia Technology Summit,” said Larry Williams, President and CEO of the Technology Association of Georgia. “The bright individuals and shining organizations that promote Georgia as a hub of innovation can often go unrecognized, and TAG seeks to identify the strongest, most innovative leaders from across the state of Georgia.”

Best Overall – Loupe: A digital streaming platform for art for televisions or other devices;
Best Exhibit – Speedscale: A software-testing platform that enables developers to more reliably and cost-effectively test their latest products, focused specifically on cloud-native software;

With more than 30,000 members across the state and regional chapters in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah, TAG hosts more than 150 events every year, culminating in the Georgia Technology Summit. TAG is the umbrella organization for 20 professional societies, aiming to inspire, connect and promote leaders in tech.
TAG helps to provide connections within the state’s tech sector, as well as consulting and advocating for the sector to municipalities and the state. Members of TAG range from executives at companies with a billion dollar valuation to companies that are just starting out but have a great idea or innovation. With the growth of tech in Georgia, notably FinTech, over the last two decades, TAG has grown into one of the most important trade associations in the state.
“TAG is the place to make catalytic connections, to learn and to give back to the thriving and vibrant tech ecosystem in Georgia and beyond. It affords me and my colleagues the ability to not only engage, make important business connections and grow – but also to connect with some of the most renowned tech leaders,” said Ken Meyer, TAG Board Member and Chief Information & Experience Officer at Truist Financial Corporation.
