In July 2020, Alabama governor Kay Ivey established the Alabama Innovation Commission (AIC), aimed at building the state’s competitiveness in the technology sector, inspiring entrepreneurship, and educating a 21st century work force. The AIC serves as a platform for innovators to engage policymakers, exchange ideas, and identify policies that promote innovation in the state.
