Its no surprise that many cities throughout the state of Florida now the fastest-growing state in the nation have been heralded as up-and-coming tech hubs or the nations next Silicon Valley. Those of us who live, work and play in this state already know that Florida is a tech tour de force, with a diverse range of industries and talent available. In fact, in 2021, Florida added more tech companies to its economy than any other state.
Take Miami, where venture capital investments grew in 2022; Gainesville, where the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) is bringing artificial intelligence (AI) and agricultural innovations together to create real-world solutions; or Jacksonville, where aerospace manufacturing is taking root. These stories of technological growth and innovation arent unique across the state, cities large and small are embracing tech and the opportunities that come with it.

I'm waiting for foreign countries to label Florida as risky as the most dangerous states in Mexico.
