Following a very good year for the tech industry in South Florida, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is announcing a newly formed Tech Innovation team in partnership with local colleges and universities, to transform the tech boom into real opportunities for Miami-Dade’s students, entrepreneurs, and the local economy overall.
“We are not only opening the door to tech and the new economy, we are also stepping in with our own initiatives to connect new industries to local talent and our residents to a world of opportunities, jobs and knowledge,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Miami-Dade is a cradle of innovation and entrepreneurship; we are ready to offer much more than a beautiful background for the tech industry, and, instead, become active players in it.”
Under the leadership of the Mayor’s Tech Innovation Advisor, Francesca de Quesada Covey, Miami-Dade County is launching several initiatives this year, to:
- Support the growth of Miami-Dade’s climate tech sector
- Increase access to household internet for students and families in hard-to-reach low-income communities
- Create a talent pipeline for students and professionals of all ages and backgrounds to find tech jobs
