金霸王在亚特兰大投资5600万美元设创新中心，佐治亚州外资创纪录
亚特兰大消息——电池制造商金霸王（Duracell）宣布，将在佐治亚理工学院附近投资5600万美元设立一座创新中心。据佐治亚趋势（Georgia Trend）援引《亚特兰大宪法报》报道，该项目是佐治亚州新近公布的外资招商成果之一，选址看重理工学院的人才与科研资源，创新中心将承担产品研发与测试职能。
州政府公布的数据显示，截至2026年6月结束的财政年度，佐治亚州共吸引外国直接投资78亿美元，带来约9350个就业岗位，创下历史纪录。州经济发展部门表示，国际企业持续把研发与先进制造项目放在亚特兰大都会区，与当地高校、机场物流和营商环境密切相关。
金霸王总部位于康涅狄格州，是全球知名的碱性电池品牌。公司方面表示，亚特兰大创新中心将与佐治亚理工学院的工程学科形成协作，具体招聘时间表与岗位构成将陆续公布。亚特兰大市近年来持续引进企业研发总部，这座新中心被视为都会区「创新走廊」的又一落子。
州经济发展官员表示，佐治亚州已连续多年在全国营商环境评比中名列前茅，州政府把吸引国际企业研发与先进制造项目作为招商重点，亚特兰大都会区凭借哈茨菲尔德-杰克逊国际机场的全球航线网络、全州的大学体系以及相对低廉的运营成本，在选址竞争中屡有斩获。设在佐治亚理工学院附近的创新中心可以直接对接该校的毕业生与实验室资源，也方便与 Midtown 一带的科技企业形成集群效应。市政府方面预计，项目落地后还将带动周边餐饮、零售与住房需求，具体的建设时间表与岗位开放信息将由金霸王与州政府在后续公告中披露。

Duracell to Invest $56 Million in Atlanta Innovation Center as Georgia Foreign Investment Hits Record
ATLANTA — Battery maker Duracell announced it will invest $56 million in a new innovation center near the Georgia Institute of Technology, according to Georgia Trend, citing the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The project is among the foreign-investment wins recently announced by the state, with the site chosen for its access to Georgia Tech's engineering talent and research resources; the center will focus on product research, development and testing.
State figures show that in the fiscal year ended June 2026, Georgia attracted $7.8 billion in foreign direct investment tied to roughly 9,350 jobs, a record. Economic development officials said international companies continue to place research and advanced-manufacturing projects in the Atlanta metropolitan area, drawn by its universities, airport logistics and business climate.
Duracell, headquartered in Connecticut, is one of the world's best-known alkaline battery brands. The company said the Atlanta center will collaborate with Georgia Tech's engineering programs, with hiring timelines and job details to be announced. The project adds to a string of corporate research facilities landing in Atlanta's innovation corridor.
State development officials note that Georgia has ranked near the top of national business-climate surveys for years, and that recruiting international research and advanced-manufacturing projects is a stated priority. The Atlanta area competes on the strength of Hartsfield-Jackson's global flight network, the state university system and comparatively low operating costs. A site next to Georgia Tech gives Duracell direct access to graduates and laboratory resources and plugs the center into Midtown's technology cluster. The city expects the project to lift nearby restaurant, retail and housing demand; construction timelines and job postings will be detailed in later announcements by the company and the state.
