Birmingham is known for many things, but above others, UAB has created a massive presence with the Healthcare industry and the Innovation Depot has spurred a huge amount of growth through technology.
The two met last weekend for the 2nd annual Innovation Hack at the Velocity Accelerator – Here are the details…
Hackathon, started in 2015, brings together 100 healthcare, business, and tech guru’s for the sole purpose of solving problems, within the healthcare industry.
