 Getting Ahead in the Global, Knowledge-Based Economy

Germany is known for innovative and cutting-edge technologies; so too is Alabama.  Learn what is happening in the start-up scene in the Birmingham area and how these developments can help other businesses operating in Alabama find success in an increasingly global economy.  Learn how Alabama's Community College System keeps up with changes and needs in today's knowledge-based economy. Meet two unique start-ups: TrimTab Brewing Co. - the newest brewery in town, and RadioBro Corporation that is taking off fast. What have “real life” start-up businesses gone through?  How might these experiences help your business become more innovative?
