MAAS Aviation will build a $39 million twin-bay paint facility at Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley expected to create 80 jobs and focus on the commercial maintenance, repair and overhaul market in the Americas, the Mobile Airport Authority announced Tuesday.

The new facility will complement MAAS' soon-to-be completed facility on the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility site and will be situated on roughly two acres between Airbus to the south, VT MAE's maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar complex to the north and Continental Motors Services' operations to the west.

Roger Wehner, executive director of the airport authority, called MAAS a "world-class partner" with whose "internal focus on process and training" the agency has been impressed during the past year.

Get excited for entrepreneurship: the dates for Birmingham's second annual Innovation Week have been set for Aug. 31 through Sept. 4.

Innovation Week is an annual event to showcase and celebrate Birmingham's growing body of innovators, tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors.

Here's a sampling of some of this year's events: a ribbon cutting at Innovation Depot; a crowdfunding seminar; a Business@Sunset networking event at the Depot; and the 2015 Alabama Launchpad Innovation Awards Luncheon.  

The Mobile Airport Authority made its second high-profile aerospace supplier announcement in as many days Wednesday at the 2015 International Paris Air Show, welcoming Messier-Bugatti-Dowty to Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley.

Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, a Safran company, is a global leader in aircraft landing and braking systems and will open an office and a workshop at the Aeroplex at the end of June. 

The move is intended to strengthen the company's existing international support network by placing it closer to its U.S. customers and in direct support of the soon-to-enter-production Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility.

Birmingham startup incubator, Innovation Depot, has launched Depot/U, a coding boot camp to teach aspiring programmers how to become employable front-end developers.

If anything can be in vogue in the explicitly nerdy world of tech startups, coding boot camps are definitely in vogue.

In the last couple of years they've sprung up all over the country, mostly in larger metropolises and in the traditional technology hubs: San Francisco, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Austin, etc. We have yet to get one here in Birmingham, despite our growing tech scene and the much decried fact that the growing technology startups in the city can't find local talent to fill the good paying jobs they're creating.
