Atlanta, GA- February 23, 2016 - Elemica, the leading Supply Chain Operating Network for the process industries, announces being named one of Georgia's Top 40 Most Innovative Companies by The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). TAG's annual Top 40 Awards recognize Georgia-based companies for their innovation, financial impact, and their efforts at spreading awareness of Georgia's technology initiatives throughout the United States and globally. Elemica was selected for its Supply Chain Operating Network automating and orchestrating mission-critical business processes across buyers, suppliers and logistics providers - representing nearly a half a trillion dollars in commerce value annually.
"We are extremely honored to be named as a Top 40 Most Innovative Technology Company in Georgia," said Rich Katz, Chief Technology Officer at Elemica. "Our entire global team shares in this prestigious award for their energetic and diligent efforts in crafting solutions that enable our customers to prosper."
Elemica's next-generation platform, built-from-the-ground-up, was recently awarded with three patents for its game-changing technologies. The company anticipates being awarded several others in the near future.
"The 2016 Top 40 finalists are an elite group of innovators who represent the very best of Georgia's Technology community," said Tino Mantella, president & CEO of TAG. "The 2016 Top 40 finalists are shining examples of what makes our State such a hotbed for technology and we applaud them for standing out as leaders in Georgia's technology community."
This year's Top 40 Companies were selected from among over 100 applications submitted by companies from across Georgia. Companies selected for the "Top 40" will be showcased in an exhibition at The 2016 Georgia Technology Summit. TAG will recognize this prestigious group at the 2016 Georgia Technology Summit (GTS) on March 17, 2016, at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
"An extraordinary number of truly innovative technology companies participated in this year's Top 40 competition, demonstrating the depth and breadth of Georgia's technology community," said Dennis Zakas, managing partner of Zakas & Leonard, LLP, CEO of Zinc., and chairperson of the Top 40 Selection Committee. "In fact, based on the quality of the contestants, we could have had a 'Top 60' without losing a beat."
The 2016 Georgia Technology Summit is expected to draw a crowd of more than 1,300 C-level executives, entrepreneurs, technology professionals and academia to celebrate and recognize Georgia's technology community. In addition to presentations from some of the top technology influencers in the nation, the newest member of the Technology Hall of Fame of Georgia will be inducted.
