Call for Submissions: GTA + AWS GenAI Accelerator

The GTA + AWS GenAI Accelerator is a 12-week, team-based learning and innovation program designed to help Georgia agencies build practical GenAI skills while exploring real business challenges.

Selected agencies will form cross-functional teams of up to five participants. Teams may include business owners, program staff, operations staff, IT/data partners, or others who understand the workflow, service area, or business challenge being explored.

Agencies may submit a specific AI opportunity or a broader area of interest. Submissions can focus on improving workflows, service delivery, reporting, document-heavy processes, internal operations, or other areas where GenAI could support better outcomes.

There is no cost to participate, and participation does not create a commitment to fund, procure, build, or deploy a solution. The primary commitment is staff time and participation in the 12-week learning process.

During the Accelerator, teams will participate in guided GenAI learning, office hours, cross-functional collaboration, and structured innovation activities. Teams will use what they learn to shape an Innovation Idea connected to an agency business challenge and prepare to present their concept during a final Shark Tank-style showcase.
