Vancouver, B.C. – September 22, 2018 – Liberty Defense Holdings Inc. (“Liberty”) is pleased to announce the completion of a sub-lease for its engineering and U.S. operations situated in the Atlanta Technology Park (ATP).
Liberty is a high-tech security startup that has established its operations in the ATP, an Atlanta suburban office park focused on fostering early-stage software and hardware technology companies. Atlanta is known for its highly skilled tech workforce, thriving innovative ecosystem, low cost of doing business, and highly-ranked technology research universities, such as Georgia Tech.
Liberty leased the 8,000 square foot office space located at Two Sun Court, Peachtree Corners, Georgia which will serve as the Liberty Center of Excellence (COE) for its engineering and development operations for high-tech development of security products. The office has an open and collaborative workspace, multiple conference rooms and a state-of-the-art research and development lab.

Liberty COO and President of U.A. Operations Aman Bhardwaj commented, “Liberty prioritized selecting an area where we could balance the ability to recruit high-tech talent with a low cost of operations, open and collaborative workspace, and a business community geared towards innovation. We didn’t have to compromise on our criteria and priorities by leasing class A office space for research, product development, and operations at reasonable cost in ATP. We have been very successful in recruiting top talent in very short time due to our location and work space environment.”
