The Alabama Technology Foundation (ATF) is an economic development and outreach organization that is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The ATF participates directly and indirectly in programs geared toward developing a trained and skilled workforce – targeting business demand, growth opportunities and specialization in the field of information technology in Alabama. The foundation fosters close relationships between Alabama academia, industry and government communities in areas that relate to the development of skilled I.T. and engineering.
