Access to Opportunity
Florida has always been home to big ideas. From the creation of Walt Disney World to IBM’s introduction of its first PC in Boca Raton, the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit is woven into the DNA of every Florida business owner.

A coalition of the state’s business leaders, including the Florida Council of 100, Enterprise Florida and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, has identified talent as the top requirement for building an innovation-based economy. Enhancing Florida’s rich talent pool will feed emerging clusters including clean technologies and energy solutions. These technologies make renewable and alternative energy such as ethanol, solar power, wind energy and wave energy a viable alternative and are beneficial to our economy — and our environment.
I encourage you to learn more about the opportunities our state has to offer, and I hope you will join us as we continue our state’s pursuit of innovation as the foundation for our future.

Innovation drives Enterprise Florida’s efforts to strengthen Florida’s position as a leader in the global economy. As the state’s primary economic development organization, Enterprise Florida Inc., supported by its widespread partner network, seeks innovation when working to retain and recruit companies in targeted growth industries. This progressive and unique business driver is enabling the state to lay a solid foundation from which top-level talent and skill can emerge as well as high-wage jobs. This factor will continue to be our competitive advantage as we pave the road to a promising future for all who live and work in Florida.
