A Capital for startup capital
Miami-area startups raised $4.13 billion in 2025, up 49% year over year, including a record nine mega-rounds. The region is home to billion-dollar companies like medical AI leader OpenEvidence, IT software giant Kaseya and digital health company eMed.
At the frontier of AI
The Brookings Institution named Miami a "Star Hub" metro for AI readiness. More than 448 AI startups operate here, and AI-focused companies raised $1.23 billion in 2025.
Gateway to the Americas
Miami International Airport offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport, with nonstop service to 97 international destinations. It's why 1,200 Latin American headquarters are here, and why your speakers and attendees from across the hemisphere can get here easily.
An audience that's already here
Tech employment grew 51% over the past decade, nearly double the national rate. Software developers alone number more than 31,000, and local universities add 1,700+ computer science grads a year.
