Are you starting or growing your technology business in Tampa Bay?
Are you looking for resources and other support?
If so, the recently published Tampa Bay Innovation Ecosystem Map might be useful. A group of support organizations, led by the Innovation District and fueled by a grant from Duke Energy, developed this map in 2023. The group recognized that funding, coaching, partnerships, etc. available can depend on the company’s stage of growth, industry focus, target customers, or founder background. For entrepreneurs, this network of support organizations can be challenging to navigate. The hope is that this map helps direct entrepreneurs to the best possible resources. The map was developed through surveys and interviews of over 100 support organizations - a special thanks to all of them for assisting!

Thank you to all the ARK Innovation Center and Maritime & Defense Tech Hub tenants who joined us for Rowdies Networking Night with the Chamber! It was one of our first social events together and it rocked. We loved connecting outside the office and cheering on the team from the Bayshore Lounge.
