Research is now underway for the latest report, which will examine investment trends, development activity, and competitive advantages across major industries. The edition will also feature deep dives on Broward County municipalities pursuing sustainable economic growth strategies.

Major infrastructure expansions — including ongoing upgrades at Port Everglades and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport — have enhanced global connectivity and accelerated business attraction. At the same time, a growing talent pool and favorable tax landscape continue to draw companies from higher-cost markets, especially the Northeast. These trends are reinforcing Greater Fort Lauderdale’s position as a magnet for corporate relocations and innovation-led economic development.

“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 Broward County as their base,” said Abby Lindenberg, CEO and founder of caa. “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.”
