Florida’s growing Innovation Economy is the result of an entrepreneurial environment that allows technology professionals to advance their R&D efforts from the lab to the marketplace. This has resulted in a rising number of home-grown technology companies and the establishment of Florida operations for many world-class research institutes.

R&D investors choose Florida for their critical innovation projects because the state offers a robust R&D infrastructure, strong support networks for technology entrepreneurs and a growing, qualified talent pool that can take basic research from its conceptual phase to commercialization.
