FLORIDA'S STATEWIDE PLATFORM FOR INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, TALENT, AND ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS
Ambition Accelerated is the execution of The Florida Council of 100’s Beyond Sunshine strategy, which identified the need for Florida to organize its economy around its highest-potential industries.
Building on the success of the 2025 Gold Coast Tech Accelerator, Ambition Accelerated has evolved into Florida's statewide platform for innovation, entrepreneurship, talent, and economic competitiveness.
For a long time, Florida benefited from growth. What is happening now is different. The state is being organized intentionally to compete for companies, align its strengths, and create a market where the next generation of American companies is built.
A Statewide System for Company Building
Ambition Accelerated brings together Florida’s leading regions and industries into a coordinated platform designed to attract and scale high-growth companies.
Each accelerator is anchored in a region with distinct strengths, but operates as part of a unified system connecting companies to real market demand, enterprise partners, and long-term growth opportunities.
