Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners is launching a new Autonomous Mobility Program for companies ready to deploy, validate, and scale technology in a real-world city environment.
Selected companies may receive funding ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 to support deployments on Curiosity Lab’s autonomous mobility route in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. The program is designed for companies with technology that is ready to move beyond the lab, beyond the closed course, and into live operating conditions.
Why Curiosity Lab?
Curiosity Lab is a living laboratory for place-based deployment in metro Atlanta, built to help companies test next-generation technologies in an active city environment. Our autonomous mobility route includes a nearly 4-mile smart mobility loop along Technology Parkway and State Route 141, with dedicated autonomous vehicle lane segments, shared and mixed-traffic roadway, enhanced sidewalks, rights-of-way, smart city infrastructure, and real destinations throughout the corridor.
This is a real city environment with active traffic, intersections, sidewalks, business entrances, commercial activity, and public infrastructure. For autonomous mobility companies, it creates a valuable opportunity to validate technology in the kinds of conditions that matter for commercialization, customer adoption, and scale.
Who Should Apply?
We are looking for growth-stage companies and innovation teams working on autonomous mobility technologies, including:
- Autonomous passenger shuttles
- Low- or High-speed autonomous vehicles
- Autonomous delivery vehicles
- Sidewalk or curbside delivery robots
- Autonomous logistics and last-mile mobility systems
- Robotic mobility systems
Strong applicants will have technology that is ready for real-world deployment, validation, or early scaling. Companies interested in building a deeper presence at Curiosity Lab or in Peachtree Corners are especially encouraged to apply.
A Place to Showcase What’s Next
The future of mobility will not be proven in theory alone. It will be proven in cities, on real routes, around real people, and in operating environments that reflect the complexity of the market. That is what Curiosity Lab is built for.
Through this program, selected companies will have the opportunity to deploy along a real-world autonomous route, engage with Curiosity Lab’s innovation ecosystem, and build a stronger use case for customers, partners, investors, and public-sector stakeholders.
Apply by July 24, 2026
