DefenseTech Accelerator

Cummings Research Park (CRP) launched a DefenseTech Accelerator in the Park in late fall of 2024 for five companies in its initial cohort. The Huntsville/Madison County Chamber and Treble One are CRP’s partners in this initiative.

The Accelerator utilizes the Innovate Alabama Tax Credit program, which is a statewide initiative where local companies and individuals with significant tax liability can allocate 50% of their taxes to stay local.

State tax liabilities that can be used for this program are the Alabama income tax, State insurance premium tax, State public utility license tax and State portion of the financial institution excise tax (FIET).

Entrepreneurs

BizTech at The Entrepreneurial Center is the oldest incubator in the Park and works with many B-to-C companies from start-up to launch.

The Catalyst Center for Business and Entrepreneurship, housed at BizTech, provides a number of networking, education and coaching opportunities to help grow you professionally and help grow your business.

The Invention to Innovation Center (i2c) on the campus of the University of Alabama in Huntsville is a regional initiative that fosters, promotes, and accelerates commercialization of technology-based ventures through incubation, co-working, mentorship, funding, and strategic support with more than twenty companies or organizations housed in the incubator.
