Invest: Greater Fort Lauderdale 7th Edition to cover sustainable growth, global connectivity
September 2024 — The South Florida region has been an economic juggernaut with an ever-growing number of business, community, and cultural assets. In particular, the Greater Fort Lauderdale area, comprising the middle of the Tri-county region, has taken a proactive approach to bolstering quality of life for residents and cultivating a business-friendly environment for companies — all of which will be covered in the upcoming Invest: Greater Fort Lauderdale 7th Edition report.
Research is currently underway for the latest report, which covers investment and development across eight major industries, along with special reports of municipalities in Broward County all-in on sustainable economic growth.
The Greater Fort Lauderdale region is driven by a diversified economy that balances tourism, technology, and finance. Long a hub for international trade and tourism, the area is now seeing robust growth in industries like life sciences, fintech, and advanced manufacturing. According to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance Economic Sourcebook 2024, the area is home to more than 200 corporate, regional, and international headquarters. And word is still getting out, as 94% of survey respondents view Greater Fort Lauderdale as a “positive potential location for a corporate headquarters,” as cited by GFLA.
The expansion of Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has bolstered global connectivity, attracting more businesses and investors to the region. Meanwhile, a growing talent pool and favorable tax environment have made the area a magnet for companies relocating from higher-cost markets in the Northeast, further cementing Greater Fort Lauderdale’s reputation as a dynamic center for business innovation and economic growth.
“Strategic location, growing talent pool, and a favorable business environment have contributed to an influx of companies from sectors like technology, finance, and healthcare choosing this Broward County as their base,” said Abby Lindenberg, president and CEO of Capital Analytics. “The challenge now is ensuring that regional infrastructure and housing keep pace with this rapid growth — key areas that will be covered in this year’s edition of Invest: Greater Fort Lauderdale.”
As 2025 approaches, it’s becoming clear that in order for Broward County to sustain its growth, more investment will need to be made in housing and transportation. According to housing data published on Broward County’s ArcGIS Hub, inventory has increased by 8,000 units since 2017 — largely driven by multifamily development. In 2023, the county rolled out its 10-year affordable housing master plan, which will direct significant funding from its Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenue toward building 36,000 new affordable housing units in the next three decades. On the transportation front, the county is inching closer to a new train bridge across the New River that is expected to ease traffic congestion and allow boat traffic to pass through with ease.
Distributed locally, nationally and globally, Invest: Greater Fort Lauderdale 7th Edition is the latest comprehensive business report to holistically assess the economy of the region. 70% of the company’s nearly two million global readers are senior executives who rely on in-depth business intelligence to make informed decisions within industries that range from healthcare and life sciences to education and from energy to advanced manufacturing.
