Technology

Beginning with the 20th century’s greatest accomplishment of putting man on the moon, the Saturn V rocket was designed, managed and tested in North Alabama.

This feat set in motion a regional focus on fostering technological development. Our university-based and private research centers and testing labs, coupled with a favorable academic, business, legislative, and scientific environment, systematically facilitate the support and continued growth of our technology base. Today, while mankind’s innovative spirit continues to be put to the test, our engineers and professional technologists abound as this region continually grows, attracting the best and brightest, by making them feel welcome and integrated to a common mission in a hub of world-class innovation.
