The Alabama Collective seeks to expand and enhance emerging tech, innovation and entrepreneurial programs in Alabama. By fostering growth and diversity within the state’s tech and entrepreneurial landscape, The Alabama Collective is creating a hub for minority tech talent and entrepreneurs while also preserving the existing infrastructure that is essential to economic prosperity.
The Alabama Collective is led by some of the state’s most dynamic leaders; Mayor Randall Woodfin of Birmingham and Mayor Steven Reed of Montgomery, alongside Tech Birmingham CEO Deon Gordon and TechMGM Executive Director Charisse Stokes. These change makers have been instrumental in the growth and development of the existing technical landscape and have collaborated diligently to stand up great initiatives like: Montgomery TechLab, Bronze Valley, Apple’s EdFarm and the Lab on Dexter, a newly developed social and tech innovation facility located on historic Dexter Avenue.
After hosting multiple events in the Montgomery and Birmingham areas, the Alabama Collective has set their eyes on elevating minority tech talent across the entire state of Alabama! By leveraging our partners, their reach across multiple communities and ability to put tools and resources in the hands of many, the Alabama Collective will quickly become the state’s go to for elevating minorities in tech and innovation across Alabama.

HBCU Innovation Power Hours
The Innovate Alabama HBCU Innovation Experience is coming to an HBCU campus near YOU for Innovation Power Hours!
Students and faculty will participate in various digital skills learning labs throughout the Innovation Power Hour. These rotating stations will feature the latest Apple equipment and showcase various technologies and concepts, including the Apple SWIFT programming language, coding design principles, and augmented reality with oculus equipment, to name a few. It’s an opportunity for students and faculty to engage with emerging technology that can be incorporated into their curriculum, identify internship opportunities and obtain industry-level certifications for employment.
We understand this time of year is extremely hectic and recognize participants may need to come and go throughout the session. Those who engage in each session will be eligible for prizes at the event’s conclusion; prizes include Apple AirPods, Beats headphones, etc.
It’s a fun and interactive environment to demonstrate the art of the possible with digital skills. Our goal is to reinvigorate excitement around information technology, computer science, and digital skill development to elevate minority tech talent and entrepreneurs at Alabama HBCUs. Register below for an Innovation Power Hour near you!
