Late last year, we were proud to see Dr. Fulmer recognized on one of Alabama’s biggest innovation stages. At the Innovate Alabama State of Innovation Day, Ben was honored with the 2025 Alabama Innovator of the Year Award — a distinction reserved for leaders pushing boundaries, solving meaningful problems, and shaping what’s next for business and technology in our state.

This recognition reflects more than a single achievement. It represents a mindset of curiosity, creativity, and commitment to progress — values that continue to drive our work every day. Congratulations, Ben, on this well-deserved honor. Alabama’s future is brighter because of innovators like you.
