Global Reach
As an unmatched state in diversity, strong cultural and trade connections with Latin America; Florida’s global reach brings truth to the idea of being the global hub for business in the United States of America.
Workforce
Florida offers a large and talented pool of workers to employers. Thanks to a favorable tax structure and lower business, labor cost in Florida is lower than in some of our neighboring states. As a global hub for business, Florida’s professionals are more culturally and linguistically diverse, providing a cutting-edge advantage to employers in the global marketplace.
CareerSource Florida, the state’s innovative partnership for workforce training, provides programs such as Quick Response Training and Incumbent Worker Training to help existing and new companies recruit, train and maintain cutting-edge skills and keep pace with new technologies.
Multinational Businesses
Florida includes multinational businesses that take advantage of the state’s unique position as a gateway to Latin America. Add to that a highly skilled workforce and favorable tax laws, and it becomes clear why Florida is a top pick for foreign enterprises looking to create a presence in the U.S.

The International Trade Hub at SeaPort Manatee is focused on providing an incubator or a soft landing space for companies looking to enter the U.S. market. These are companies that otherwise would look in other areas of the country.
