12/22/2024
The new innovation office will be located at The Shop at CAC, a downtown coworking space.
“As we open our doors in the heart of New Orleans, we’re not just setting up an office — we’re planting a seed of progress,” Copado CEO Ted Elliott said. “This city, rich in culture and resilience, is now poised to become a beacon of tech innovation. Our vision is simple: Bring opportunity, foster ingenuity and put New Orleans on the map as a driving force in the digital age. Together, we’re building more than just a business; we’re building the future.”
To support the project Louisiana Economic Development (LED) offered Copado an incentives package that includes the workforce development solutions of LED FastStart. The company is also expected to participate in the state’s Quality Jobs program.
“Louisiana is rapidly emerging as a national hub for growth and innovation in the tech sector, especially in the evolving AI space,” LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois noted. “Thank you, Copado, for recognizing the opportunities, advantages and forward-thinking business environment that is making our state a prime location for locating, expanding or starting up tech ventures.”
Copado works with companies, including brands such as Coca-Cola, T-Mobile and Volkswagen, to align software development with core business processes, optimize pre-built solutions and ensure continuous collaboration through AI-powered agents. The company has operations globally and provides solutions to over 1,700 customers.
“Their investment in high-wage, high-skill jobs underscores the opportunities available for companies looking to scale in a city that blends innovation with an unmatched quality of life,” added President and CEO Michael Hecht. “GNO, Inc. is proud to have supported Copado so far, and look forward to helping them grow here in New Orleans.”
