The Switch is an innovation district centered around the mission of Innovation Depot. A place designed for start-ups and small businesses to thrive and showcase their talents as well as a meeting spot for Birmingham’s community.

The 14th Street Switchyard used to anchor the area around Innovation Depot. Tracks in the area were so predominant as recently as the 1980s that structures still in use today curve to frame where rails once were.

The Switch anchored by Innovation Depot, would be one of the largest technology incubators in the Southeast. Innovation Depot has already established itself as Birmingham’s community for innovation and entrepreneurship. The Switch draws on this energy and creates a path to expand that community to the City of Birmingham. The Switch will bring new life, creativity and economic growth to the Innovation District.
