Mission & Values
Our Mission
South Florida Tech Hub serves as the regional connector for South Florida’s technology community.
We bring together businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, educators, public-sector leaders, students, and technology professionals to strengthen the region’s innovation economy.
Our mission is to create the relationships, programs, events, and opportunities that help companies grow, people advance their careers, and communities participate in the economic opportunities created by technology.
And because we are a nonprofit organization, our success is not measured by commissions, placements, or transactions.
Our success is measured by the strength of the community we help build.

Why South Florida?
South Florida has the ingredients to become one of the world’s great innovation regions.
We have globally connected cities, major universities and research institutions, established industries undergoing technological transformation, a growing entrepreneurial community, international connectivity, and an extraordinarily diverse population.
But ingredients alone do not create an ecosystem.
Ecosystems require connective tissue.
They require trusted relationships.
They require leaders who know one another.
They require companies that can find talent.
They require talent that can find opportunity.
They require mentors willing to help the next generation.
They require communities willing to work together rather than in isolation.
That connective infrastructure is where South Florida Tech Hub works.
We do not build the companies.
We connect the people building them.
We do not create the talent.
We connect talent to opportunity.
We do not build South Florida’s technology ecosystem alone.
We connect the people who do.
Our Commitment
South Florida Tech Hub exists to serve the community we are part of.
There is simply a shared belief among technology leaders and practitioners that South Florida becomes stronger when we invest in one another.
Every connection we create is intended to move the region forward: helping a company find talent, helping a professional find a career, helping a student discover a pathway, helping an entrepreneur meet a mentor, or helping leaders from different parts of South Florida collaborate on challenges too large for any one organization to solve.
