Innovation is part of Georgia’s DNA. The 2012 Georgia Technology Summit celebrates the accomplishments of our businesses and visionaries and validates Georgia’s position as a technology leader. This year’s theme, “Innovation: The Path to a Bright Future” showcases the people, companies and industries that have catapulted Georgia to a position of excellence. Georgia is on the path to a bright future and, by being here today, each and every one of you are supporting us on this the journey. TAG has a goal of helping Georgia become one of the top five states in the nation for technology by 2015. It is a lofty goal, but we know we can achieve it by coming together as a community and taking advantage of the innovation that happens in Georgia every day. Our Summit this year focuses on the past, present and future; the transformative minds and moments that set us on the path to be the strong technology community we are today and the efforts and ideas that will drive in-novation and move us closer to our bright future. We hope you enjoy the speak-ers we brought here today to talk about innovation and the presentations from our Top 10 Innovative Companies who live and breathe innovation every day. We invite you to reflect upon Georgia’s impact on the world as we induct three new people into the Technology Hall of Fame of Georgia. And we encourage you to make new connections as you network with some of the brightest minds our community has to offer. On behalf of TAG’s Board of Directors and Summit Planning Committee, we thank you for being a part of today’s event and hope it will be an enlightening and enriching experience. ►

Building Better Businesses that Deliver Better Care

Can the best business solution also be the best healthcare solution? When hospitals, physician practices and pharmacies run as healthy businesses, they inevitably deliver better, safer, more compassionate care.

When doctors are unburdened by paperwork, when pharmacists are able to spend more time counseling patients, when hospitals realize cost savings through automation—these are the signs of healthy businesses. And that means better health for all of us.

McKesson helps bring it all together. For better business health. For better human health. All for better health.

Schinazi is also adjunct professor of chemistry at Georgia State University. Schinazi is a leader in the area of nucleoside chemistry, having founded several biotechnology companies focusing on antiviral drug discovery and development, including Pharmasset Inc. (VRUS; acquired by Gilead in 2012 for $11 billion), Triangle Pharmaceuticals (VIRS; acquired by Gilead in 2003 for $482 million), Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX; 51% acquired by Novartis in 2003), and RFS Pharma LLC.

Schinazi’s inventions now sell more than $2 billion per year, and 94% of HIV-infected individuals take at least one of the drugs he invented. It is estimated that Schinazi’s work has saved over 3 million lives worldwide. His pioneering work on HCV has led to the discovery and development of curative therapies for this devastating disease that afflicts more than 3% of the US population. Drugs such as PSI-7977 and IDIX-184 are currently in phase 3 clinical trials and have changed the landscape for treatment modalities for HCV.
