Technology/Innovation Committee

During the last few years, Miami's emergence as a tech hub has been well-documented. The rise of the region as a center for technology, innovation and entrepreneurship represents a critical opportunity for Miami to transform its economic landscape and drive our region's long-term success

Miami’s rise as a tech hub presents a significant opportunity to transform the region’s economic landscape. The Technology & Innovation Committee aims to foster discussions on technology topics relevant to the local business community and the region at large, while continuing to establish Miami's place as a tech hub for innovation and growth. Its objectives include creating valuable networking opportunities, acting as a catalyst for the tech ecosystem through meetings, networking opportunities and specific initiatives, and offering programming that is relevant, interesting and informative to a diverse group of stakeholders. 

Participation is open to all Chamber members in good standing who have interests or concerns related to all facets of the region's growing technology infrastructure.  Members include technology start-ups, related businesses, industry professionals and technology stakeholders.
