We've worked to create this South Florida Talent Report as a resource for our tech industry stakeholders and partners.

One of our organization values is to ‘Make Choices Based on Data’ to guide our decisions, and our companies, education institutions, and economic development partners are similar in this thinking.

Over the past several years, our Talent Committee has led with a small team to identify and respond to the needs of our quickly progressing industry, and we believe this dashboard can support our Building South Florida into a Tech Hub

All data used is associated with the Miami Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
