Everyone deserves a seat at the table. Our exposure programs introduce students and communities to the people, ideas, industries, and opportunities shaping Alabama’s innovation economy.
Through high-energy campus experiences, workshops, pitch sessions, and community events, participants discover what is possible and begin to see themselves as part of Alabama’s growing technology and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
High-energy, in-person events hosted at HBCU campuses across Alabama, where students and faculty step into design-thinking workshops, AI
activities, and live pitch sessions.
Blending tech and entrepreneurial exploration with music, giveaways, and networking, Innovation Power Hours are often a student’s first hands-on encounter with innovation —and they are built to spark what comes next.
They connect students directly to industry mentors, investors, and partners, and serve as the front door to the full HBCU Innovation Experience.
The Alabama Collective (TAC) is building a more inclusive, tech-driven economy across Alabama. Guided by the principles of Expose, Educate, Engage, and Empower, TAC connects talent, training, and opportunity—helping students, founders, and communities transform ideas into impact.
