Georgia

Overview

Georgia is located in the southeastern United States. Atlanta, the state's capital and largest city, is a major hub for business and transportation, home to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world. Georgia is the 24th largest state by area, but it remains the 8th most populous state with an estimated 11.40 million residents. Georgia's Gross Domestic Product is $924,828,900,000.

The largest industries in Georgia are aerospace and defense, agribusiness and food processing, energy, film and television, information technology, logistics and transportation, manufacturing, and tourism. Georgia is home to many major Fortune 500 corporations, including The Home Depot, United Parcel Service (UPS), Delta Air Lines, and The Coca-Cola Company. While the state's film and television sector has experienced a post-strike stabilization with direct spending trending around $3 billion, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport continues to expand its immense role as a critical logistics engine, anchoring the regional freight sector that generates over 35% of the metropolitan area's total economic output.

Georgia exported $1,20,000 to Qatar, establishing a robust trade channel focused heavily on technical innovation and heavy logistics. The state’s top export sectors are led by civilian aircraft, spacecraft, and aerospace components, followed closely by nuclear reactors, industrial boilers, mechanical machinery, and electrical hardware or digital audio/visual gear. Supporting this commercial activity, Qatar Airways continues to operate direct, non-stop passenger and cargo routes connecting Doha’s Hamad International Airport directly to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
