Building Alabama’s MedTech Engine
Hardware Park converts real clinical problems into products, companies, and jobs that strengthen Alabama’s economy.
A Practical Engine for
Economic Growth
The MedTech Device Center at Hardware Park can provide non-dilutive funding for technical assistance and rapid prototyping through a statewide partner network. Rather than seeking equity, Hardware Park funds milestone-based work to create measurable returns and keep ownership local while circulating investment through Alabama-based supply chains.
Keeping Alabama Talent Working in Alabama
Hardware Park’s process relies heavily on Alabama-based network partners. The growth of the MedTech Device Center will lead to direct and indirect job creation tied to the design, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution of new medical devices.
Local Dollars, Local Impact
When prototyping and production happen in Alabama, local purchases of tools, materials, and service contracts typically follow. Each device developed here strengthens regional and statewide supply chains and builds a foundation for future advanced manufacturing work.
