The City of Boca Raton has a rich history of innovation. From being the original headquarters of IBM where the personal computer was invented, to more recent successes like ModMed to exciting new startups like STRAX Intelligence, Honorlock and Guident. The City continues to accelerate growth through innovation to not only enhance the economy but transform our ecosystem.
As a city, we are now looking to build upon the strong foundation of our existing economic network. Under the Office of Economic Development, the Office of Innovation is leading the development and execution of a city-wide strategy that focuses on accelerating the Boca Raton start-up and technology ecosystem.
We are positioning ourselves to take a leadership role within South Florida as a vibrant “hub” for developing high-potential, tech-focused startups through the creation of strategic programs and partnerships. We believe that by gathering the combined knowledge, network and relative resources of local government, academia, corporations, and venture capital, this will yield higher and faster success rates for these innovative startups and create increased investment and other business opportunities for our current corporate and venture community partners.
