Today, the Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator announced its inaugural class of startups to participate in the 2020 program. Ten companies from seven states make up the class, with the intensive, 13-week endeavor beginning this week. Three of the companies already call Birmingham home.

The companies specialize in technology and business models to enhance the future of energy, including a digital marketplace for the electric wholesale industry, battery storage and microgrid solutions, and smart home software.

“Birmingham’s startup community is on the rise, and Techstars is a major step in its evolution as one of our country’s brightest entrepreneurial hubs,” said Nate Schmidt, managing director of Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator. “One unique aspect of our accelerator is the focus on energy and clean tech.
