The U.S Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke, in a speech on Jul 15, 2010 at a University Innovaton Forum, lauded Georgia Tech for  providing "America with some of its top intellectual talent" and "increasingly turning Atlanta into a magnet for a new generation of American innovators and entrepreneurs."

Georgia Tech is also said to have "obviously hit upon a very successful approach" in technology commercialization and is viewed as an example through which commericalization can be scaled up in unversities in the rest of the country, thereby creating well-paying jobs and growing the economy.
