Miami is a community of entrepreneurs who appreciate new ideas. Miami continues to draw professionals and business people with a creative spirit and unbridled ambition looking to make a name for themselves. Today as our local technology industry continues to boom, we are known nationwide as a leader in startups with the #1 ranking from the Kauffman Foundation. We are focused on capitalizing on this asset and taking it to the next level.
The Connect & Grow Initiative was established to help transform startups into scale-ups. Two ways to do that are 1) connecting the dots of robust resources that foster the growth of the ecosystem, and 2) facilitating the building of a vital community network that supports companies at all growth stages.
The Miami-Dade Beacon Council plays a key role in leading that change. Through our Innovation Plan, a Connect & Grow initiative, the Miami-Dade Beacon Council acts as a catalyst and bridge to innovation for established businesses, and industries, to innovators with scalable companies. These connections will serve to provide both entities with opportunities to support their continued economic health and growth as our employers of today and tomorrow.
