As of 2025, over a dozen new life sciences buildings are adding more than 3.2 million square feet of research space across the county. The city is becoming a hub for bioscience research and development, with regional bioscience and biochemical companies receiving significant venture capital funding.

Birmingham is a stronghold for financial services, anchored by corporate headquarters of major companies. The city maintains an outsized concentration of jobs within financial services, which retained the highest share of jobs during the pandemic among major industry groups (Regions Financial Corporation). Regions Financial, headquartered in Birmingham, recently earned the prestigious President's "E" Award for supporting exports (Business Alabama Magazine).

Birmingham's strategic location makes it a hub for logistics and transportation. The industry is one of the top priorities for recruitment, with 55% of survey respondents identifying it as a key sector for growth.
