On this episode of Beyond Rockets, we sit down with Larry Lowe, Chief Innovation Officer for the City of Huntsville. Larry shares his path from radar engineering and startup life to Fractal Brewing and data/AI, then into City Hall, where he’s helping the City of Huntsville, Huntsville Utilities, and the Solid Waste Disposal Authority use technology responsibly and transparently.

We talk about:

What a municipal CIO actually does—and why Huntsville created the role

How departments are adopting AI (policy, training, Microsoft Copilot)

Balancing innovation with public trust (including a project that was paused to listen)

Education and workforce efforts from K-12 to college

What progress looks like through 2026 as Huntsville keeps growing
