About the Pledge
The purpose of this initiative, Keep It Local, is to gain commitment from local companies to consider local technology suppliers as a resource when possible; and local suppliers to understand buyer needs and find ways to grow their capabilities to match.
Sign the PledgeA TechBirmingham and Innovation Depot Initiative
TechBirmingham, Innovation Depot and several key business partners including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, Regions
Bank, Alabama Power, 2B, Isotope 11 began discussions centered around how to create more opportunities for
local companies to do more business together with a focus on IT products and services.
The result of these initial discussions is the Keep IT Local Pledge. Companies on both the "demand" and
"supply" side are encouraged to sign the Keep IT Local pledge on this website. By signing the pledge, companies
are committing to consider local technology suppliers as a resource when possible and local suppliers are
committing to understand buyer needs and find ways to grow their capabilities to match those needs. In addition
to being recognized, pledge signees have an opportunity to access a database informing buyers on products
and services available.
