Florida’s infrastructure makes it a clear choice for business expansion.

Success Today Requires Global Access

From moving people to moving data, Florida has built what it takes to be an economic powerhouse.

Florida’s transportation infrastructure is one of the world’s most extensive multi-modal systems, featuring international airports, deep-water seaports, extensive highway and rail networks and multiple hubs that allow for high-speed data transmission from around the U.S. to Europe, Latin America and Africa.

Florida is connected to the world in every possible way. From strong cultural and trade connections with Latin America to unmatched global reach via its modern ports and airports and its leadership in the commercial space industry, Florida is a true global hub for business.

The state is also recognized as one of the top five telecom hubs in the world. The Network Access Point (NAP) in Miami serves as a major switching station for Internet traffic coming to and from Latin America, while other high-speed networks, such as the Florida LambdaRail and LA Grid, facilitate R&D efforts. In addition, Florida has some of the fastest and most widely available wireless networks.
