A few weeks later Innovate Alabama announced the latest approved members of its Tax Credit Program. Among the list of approved applications was that of I85 Cyber Corridor member – Alabama AI Center of Excellence(AAICE).
“We owe a special thank you to our partners and local businesses whose support made this Innovate Alabama Tax Credit award possible. Funding through this program enables AAICE to expand AI training programs, launch new workshops and prepare Alabamians for high-paying technology careers across the State.” – Alyssa Hall, Executive Director – AAICE
A primary component of AAICE’s upcoming program is the launching of the latest cohort of a AI focused Launch & Learn Lab Startup Tech Accelerator.
Kudos to both Innovate Alabama and the Alabama AI Center of Excellence for all of their tech community building efforts throughout the I85Cyber.org footprint.
