Encouraging and enabling innovation. Building the workforce of the future. Creating and enhancing opportunities that keep talented young people in Alabama — and attract them from across the nation and around the world. Continuing to invest in historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) as an integral component of achieving all those things.
These were the topics of conversation at the 2150 Energy iLab, held on September 10 at Alabama Power’s Birmingham headquarters. Organized by the 2150 Center for Innovation, Commercialization & Growth at Miles College, the event included 14 students representing five HBUs, along with faculty members and administrators from the schools. They heard about the climate for innovation in the energy sector, including current and future career paths, as well as support for aspiring entrepreneurs.
