Mayor Kasim Reed joined Microsoft North America President Judson Althoff Tuesday to celebrate the opening of Atlanta’s first Microsoft Innovation Center. The MIC will be housed exclusively in the historic Flatiron building, and will work with the City’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative to provide development software, coaching and grants to selected women entrepreneurs.
“The city of Atlanta is proud to be the home of the nation’s second Microsoft Innovation Center,” said Mayor Reed. “Ensuring that our entrepreneurs have the right tools and resources to start and grow their businesses is essential. The Microsoft Innovation Center will be a vital asset to our Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative and will empower entrepreneurs to create well-paying jobs and strengthen our economy.”
