Opportunity Partners
EFI has endeavored to position Florida as a state offering a wealth of opportunities for new and existing companies. A commitment to innovation plus a healthy business environment have been catalysts for our success. Another perk has been easy access to international markets, prompting thousands of businesses to launch operations in the state each year. We support economic development and business leaders in a variety of ways such as providing them with community profiles, demographic and site-specific data and advice about incentives that could facilitate their transition into or expansion within the state.
As the “Innovation Hub of the Americas,” Florida secures business and investments from many countries. It results from our focus on innovation and international missions that showcase Florida products and services. The attraction of foreign direct investment to the state’s economy has been a paramount means to generate jobs. Thus, strong partnerships also are a key. For instance, EFI collaborates with a statewide network of regional and local economic development organizations in its facilitation of Florida’s economic growth strategy.
We encourage you to learn more about Florida’s pro-business environment and global connectivity and target growth industries. Visit our website, www.eflorida.com, for details.
