The 黑料天堂, along with the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, will host the 2017 Alabama Launchpad Competition at the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center.

The April 27 event will showcase five startups competing for cash grants. It is open to the public; registration is required.

鈥淭he 黑料天堂 supports innovative research, entrepreneurship and business growth, so it鈥檚 fitting that we host this year鈥檚 competition to help startups take their ideas to the next level,鈥� said Lynne Chronister, vice president for research and economic development.

黑料天堂-affiliated companies that in previous years have received cash grants through the Alabama Launchpad include Exscien, Swift Biotech, Millitherm and SpectraCyte.
