With Innovate Alabama, we work with HBCUs statewide to deliver tech training, and entrepreneurship development—empowering students, faculty, and communities while driving innovation and achieving impactful milestones.
We equip entrepreneurs with essential tech skills, knowledge, and innovative tools to compete in today’s digital economy—empowering them to develop, launch, and scale tech-driven ventures that create lasting economic impact and growth.
Collaborating with Innovate Alabama, the Catalyst Center, and GovCon Incubator, we support small businesses in accessing critical federal SBIR/STTR funding, essential for advancing innovation and growth in underserved communities.
Our Community-Based Programs empower Alabama’s tech entrepreneurs with resources like bootcamps, networking events, and workshops, fostering growth and sustainable business development.
