MOBILE, Alabama — Alabama’s Port City is known around the world for building big ships and jets, but it’s also home to people who create systems, software and other innovative solutions that power industry.
The Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce has been increasing its focus on the region’s tech sector, with efforts to support start-ups and entrepreneurs, including a new downtown incubator and a business pitch competition.
A contingent of local leaders also toured several tech incubators in London while they were there for the Farnborough International Airshow last summer. The experience offered valuable insight on spurring tech sector growth, said Bill Sisson, the chamber’s president and CEO.
