Tallahassee: Florida’s Bridge for Business, Innovation, and Growth
Florida is now the 15th largest economy in the world. The question isn’t whether Florida will keep growing. The question is whether the Capital Region positions itself to capture that growth, or watches it pass by…
We have every reason to lead. We sit at the geographic center of the Southeast, within a half-day’s drive of Jacksonville, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Mobile, and New Orleans. We’re the seat of state government in the third-largest state in the country. And we have assets most regions would build a decade-long strategy to acquire:
the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee State College, a maturing healthcare ecosystem anchored by TMH, FSU Health, and HCA Capital Regional, a growing technology and applied data sector, and a steady pipeline of talent flowing out of our universities every year.
I think what sets us apart is the opportunity to connect them, to think and act as one region rather than a collection of institutions operating in parallel.
The Capital Region can be the front door to Florida. A place where companies come not only to do business in Tallahassee, but to use Tallahassee as a bridge into Florida and the broader Southeast. A coordination point for healthcare innovation, applied research, talent development, and business expansion. The capital of the 15th largest economy in the world should function like one.
That’s the work underway at the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, in close collaboration with the State of Florida, the Office of Economic Vitality, Choose Tallahassee, Visit Tallahassee, the Florida SBDC, Domi Station, the Capital City Chamber of Commerce, LaunchTally, the Florida Tech Council, and the private sector partners who are building this region every day.
