The meeting will provide important updates to Innovate Alabama’s three key pillars: Access to Capital, Talent Development and Lifestyle and Recreation.

“This year, Innovate Alabama’s reach and impact have expanded remarkably,” said Crutchfield. “This great work could not be accomplished without the support and collaboration of our committed board of directors and local and statewide organizations – from incubators, accelerators and startups to higher-ed institutions, government leaders and investors, each with footprints in different regions of Alabama. We’re thankful for their support and are honored to continue helping innovators grow roots in this great state that we call home.”
