Innovate Birmingham Aims for a Generational Economic Boost
The list of Birmingham’s economic assets in its city center is well documented. They include UAB, Innovation Depot, and a growing cultural and entertainment scene. But there’s a feeling Birmingham is in a unique moment that, if seized, will reap benefits for years to come. So over the last two years, some members of the business community have been working on a new initiative they believe will set Birmingham on a path to that prosperity. We talk about Innovate Birmingham in this week’s Magic City Marketplace.
Magic City Marketplace
Birmingham is big business and small. But whatever the size of the operation, the marketplace is connected by people who have to grapple with numbers and projections and spin. We try and slice through the psychobabble that can be business news with a weekly discussion of who's up and who's down, why the market reacts a certain way or what a business closing or opening means to you.
