Tampa

This is not a traditional accelerator.

It is part of a statewide platform designed to connect companies directly into Florida’s economy.

Tampa Bay is positioned as a national leader in HealthTech, where research, clinical care, and commercialization converge. Launched in 2026 as part of the Ambition Accelerated statewide expansion, the Tampa Bay HealthTech Accelerator is powered by FC100, eMerge Americas, and Embarc Collective. Focused on companies building solutions across healthcare delivery, medical devices, diagnostics, and digital health, the accelerator connects startups with world-class medical institutions, corporate partners, and investors, providing the mentorship and resources necessary to pilot, scale, and commercialize innovation.
