It is located at Curiosity Lab in the city of Peachtree Corners\u2019 500-acre smart city technology park, a living lab powered by T-Mobile 5G where more than 8,000 people live or work. Curiosity Lab features a 25,000-square-foot Innovation Center and 3-mile autonomous vehicle test track. T-Mobile has deployed its Extended Range 5G and Ultra Capacity 5G network across the park, enabling developers to build solutions in a real-world environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5G Connected Future vertical is the fourth of its kind at ATDC and follows other targeted programs in health, retail, and financial technologies. Before the launch of the 5G incubator, ATDC only served Georgia-based companies. Now, with this external funding from T-Mobile Accelerator and Curiosity Lab, ATDC will be able to help develop startups in the 5G-connected space from all over the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith applications open, the city of Peachtree Corners and Curiosity Lab will soon host even more companies testing the next generation of 5G innovation,\u201d said Betsy Plattenburg, executive director of Curiosity Lab. \u201cNo one knows what industries will take off with 5G, but with the coaching, mentoring, and growth that each incubator participant will receive, many will successfully leave the program ready to disrupt the intelligent mobility and smart city industries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newly hired industry veteran Robert \u201cBob\u201d Siegel will serve as the 5G program\u2019s connected future catalyst. Siegel comes to ATDC with 25 years of mobility experience, including senior roles at Accenture and Verizon Telematics. He will leverage his extensive network to discover high-potential startups that can benefit from this program. In this new position, Siegel will lead recruitment efforts of startups working on 5G technology and guide their growth while in the incubator. He will be based at Curiosity Lab\u2019s Innovation Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInnovation doesn&#8217;t take place in a vacuum, which is why entrepreneurs and startups require the knowledge and resources provided by partnerships such as ours,\u201d said John Avery, director of ATDC. \u201cWith technology support and coaching from business leaders at T-Mobile, Georgia Tech, and Curiosity Lab, as well as Bob joining the team, startups in the 5G incubator can transform their ideas into scalable companies with functional 5G technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply to join the 5G incubator, click <a href=\"https:\/\/atdc.org\/application-for-the-5g-connected-future-incubator-at-curiosity-lab-at-peachtree-corners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About T-Mobile Accelerator<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T-Mobile Accelerator serves as a hub for driving ideas, innovation and action.
