E-Mobility
From electric buses to mobility scooters, e-mobility makes low-emission transportation more accessible to more people. The University’s e-mobility initiative helps shape research and development and prepares the next generation of innovators within the electric mobility industry. We’re thinking ahead about new public policies of e-transportation, enhanced battery technology, and more sustainable transportation.
Georgia Power made a transformative gift to establish the Georgia Network for Electric Mobility in 2023. Two additional Georgia-based companies, Cox Automotive and Kia, made significant investments to join this exciting initiative as founding partners.
The Georgia Network for Electric Mobility was established to support education, research, and community outreach opportunities in e-mobility across Georgia. The initiative brings together industry leaders, faculty researchers, and communities across the state to develop sustainable transportation.
"Dr. Jambeck represents the missions of this institution so very well. Her work is not only pioneering research, but it’s relevant to today’s society."

World's First Honeybee Vaccine
Bees are some of the most common pollinators for crops and flowering plants, including the foods we eat every day. But fatal bacterial infections for these busy insects can decimate hives and present a global problem with critical food supply implications. Dalan Animal Health is partnering with UGA faculty to commercialize the world’s first honeybee vaccine.
Dalan Animal Health first found a home in UGA’s Innovation District in 2022, where its innovators connected with researchers in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the College of Veterinary Medicine. The company also provides internship and employment opportunities for students and alumni.
AI Research
Artificial intelligence is advancing technology in cars, computers, satellites, and much more at an exponential rate. UGA faculty are using AI to innovate how we communicate, conduct research, and save lives.
The College of Engineering is exploring how AI can transform job efficiency and worker experience. Software for inventory management and monitoring assembly stations can take over repetitive tasks and elevate workers to more complex roles.
The Department of Marine Sciences in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences uses AI to understand microscopic life. This research predicts the role of microbes in the ocean, with implications for how oceanic factors impact climate and environmental changes.
