The global voice of Florida tech
A private, independent, not-for-profit network of technology leaders championing Florida as a global tech hub, and putting technology to work for good.
TECH FLORIDA ADVOCATES is the Florida network of Global Tech Advocates, the only truly international grassroots tech community.
More than 40,000 business leaders, experts and investors volunteer their time across 48 hubs worldwide. Florida is one of them.
Florida’s seat at a global table
Who is it for?
Everyone within the technology ecosystem, and those who want to join, partner or work with it. Founders and operators, investors, corporates, policymakers and academics.
The organization is volunteer-led, proudly independent and not-for-profit. Informal networking and peer-to-peer support is the whole model, and it is built for people who are already busy.
Why does it exist?
- We bring together startups, scale-ups, corporates, policymakers and academics to exchange knowledge, ideas and experience.
- We connect Florida to the world’s fastest growing technology cities and regions.
- We support a global, inclusive community.
- We give technology a voice worldwide.
Why should you join?
Because the network is the product. What you put in is what you get out. Membership is free, financed by sponsors and partners, and run by volunteers who want the Florida technology sector to be taken seriously abroad.
Expanding beyond Florida
Global Tech Advocates runs the Launch Pad, a resource hub helping technology companies scale into new markets through the network. Sector, country and company agnostic.
For a Florida company looking at Europe, Asia or the Middle East, that means a warm introduction into a local advocate community rather than a cold start. It works in the other direction too, for international companies choosing a US landing point.
Upcoming events
Advocates meet across Florida and online.
Events to be added
Replace this block with upcoming events. Each entry needs a date, a location, a one-line description and a registration link. A network with no dated activity reads as dormant, so this section matters more than its size suggests.
