Tech & Invest
Calcalist continues its series of international conferences to spotlight economic interest centers worldwide and foster connections between the Israeli business community and those abroad. In November 2024, Calcalist will host a tech & innovation conference in sunny Miami, which has emerged as the technological capital of the southeastern United States.
Miami has long been a magnet for millions of visitors, drawn by its pleasant weather and unique cultural diversity. In recent years, Miami has attracted high-tech companies and a considerable workforce by adopting hybrid work models, relaxed restrictions, and generous tax incentives the city offers. At the conference, we will examine Miami's ascent as an investment and technology hub, spurred by the proactive support of the mayor. We'll delve into the city's key strengths and notable sectors within its burgeoning ecosystem, focusing on the most promising and hottest startups. We'll assess whether Miami could emerge as a viable alternative to San Francisco and Silicon Valley and explore its future trajectory. Additionally, we will explore how tech and innovation manifest in various fields, from national defense, cybersecurity, and AI to energy and climate challenges.
