“Atlanta is an international city that continues to welcome businesses from across the globe which have made the choice to expand here,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. “Collibra will benefit from Atlanta’s talented workforce, global connectivity through the world’s most-traveled airport, and the many other assets our city offers. Collibra is the third European technology company this year to announce an expansion in the city of Atlanta, and we look forward to supporting their growth and success.”
