COVID-19 has caused a serious dip in Main Street economies all over the country, but we're seeing some signs of recovery. We want Alabama to not just recover itself, but help the country recover and build better systems for the future. And, we want you to be a part of it!

With the help of our partners around the state, we are pivoting Alabama Launchpad's Cycle 3 2020, and applications are open. You can get all the details here.

We're focusing on FOUR sectors:

• SECTOR I: COMMERCIAL, RETAIL, LIVE EVENTS: How do we use innovation to enjoy our lifestyles again?
• SECTOR II: HEALTHCARE: How do we make our healthcare centers in both rural/urban centers and workforce more resilient and adaptable?
• SECTOR III: EDUCATION: How do we use this opportunity to reinvent education?
• SECTOR IV: INDUSTRIAL/MANUFACTURING: How do we optimize Alabama's industrial sectors for efficiency - and safety?

This is a response to crisis and a call to action. We want to see your ideas for new companies, new products, and innovations for this new normal. Applications are open until July 16, and we hope to see yours!

Apply here.
