Atlanta is the home to more than 17,000 IT and tech companies operating in subsectors such as telecom, CyberSecurity, FinTech, digital media, web, and software development.

Additionally, Atlanta seems to have the perfect balance in terms of IT education and companies: the increasing number of students in IT faculties is the main human resource for IT companies that hire even freshmen students to work for them.  Moreover, Atlanta was mentioned as the #9 Market for Tech Leaders, 2024, according to the Metro Atlanta Chamber.

Another interesting fact about the Atlanta IT industry is that the most in-demand occupations in this sector are software developers, data scientists, and cybersecurity analysts. This city has more than 156,000 experts, plus a $6 billion salary contribution. In addition, employees can benefit from competitive packages, opportunities across sectors like healthcare and finance. 

Based on the rates provided above, it is expected that Atlanta will continue to grow its IT capabilities and expand as one of the biggest US tech hubs despite the competition in the internal market. Since tech development had a huge impact on human infrastructure and created advanced facilities for sectors such as FinTech and digital media in Atlanta, the major challenges and areas that will probably bump up are cybersecurity and the creative industry. 

Nonetheless, for future growth, Atlanta has the capacity to attract an increasing number of clients for the already developed subsectors of the IT industry and is considered a great opportunity for potential clients interested in projects related to software development, web design, and development.

As of September 2025, there are 330+ IT companies from Atlanta registered on TechBehemoths.

Pay-Per-Click or PPC, is a type of digital advertising where the advertiser pays each time a user clicks on their ads. The most popular channels for PPC advertising are search engines.

The advertisers usually bid (set up a maximum price per click) on a specific list of keywords and their ads appear on top of organic search results, labeled as “Sponsored” or “Ad”. Users search for these keywords, click on advertisers’ ads and land on their websites.
