We are the heartbeat of Birmingham’s innovation and economic opportunities. And we are committed to providing residents and business owners the tools and resources they need to build a successful life in Birmingham.
Our mission is to put the residents of Birmingham first by creating quality jobs, preparing workers for those jobs and ensuring that residents can access the skill development for those jobs.
Why Birmingham? Because resilience is “our magic.” Birmingham is the “Magic City,” because it has been able to reinvent itself again and again. After steel mills closed and storefronts were shuttered, we adapted as a robust financial center. Beyond the Great Recession, Birmingham emerged as a hub for life sciences and entrepreneurs of all types.
Resilience is in the city’s DNA.
Yet, from steel mills to start-ups, one thing has remained consistent: Birmingham’s people rise to the occasion when they are given an opportunity to do so. Together, we empower Birmingham’s small businesses, invest in
Birmingham’s talented young people, and build a more resilient, diverse economy.
So why Birmingham? Why not Birmingham! Why miss out on opportunity to be a part of one of the best-kept secrets of the deep South?
