Tampa Bay Tech Week has landed a Hillsborough County EDi2 grant to expand 813 Tech Day, its signature community event, on Aug. 13 across Tampa.
DeployAIBots, founded by Joel Yi, has launched its Miami headquarters as it scales agentic AI systems designed to automate core business operations. By building technology that executes tasks like lead follow-up, scheduling, and customer communication, the company is helping businesses grow faster without increasing headcount at the same pace.
Miami-based Misfit Labs has emerged from stealth as an AI native venture studio focused on building and scaling startups through hands-on execution. With an active portfolio and institutional partnerships already in place, the firm is working alongside founders and organizations to design companies where artificial intelligence is core from day one, not an afterthought.
When Dr. Constantino Mendieta talks about his work, it is less about surgery and more about transformation. The Miami board-certified plastic surgeon is recognized for pioneering body contouring techniques, but today his focus extends into regenerative medicine and human optimization.
Tampa-based climate intelligence startup SkyTL has partnered with Utah-based Trident Sensing to launch what they call the first real-time wildfire forecasting system powered by live airborne infrared imagery. The technology enables fire behavior forecasts to update while aircraft are still in the air, a capability that could redefine how emergency crews fight fast-moving blazes.
The Florida Israel Business Accelerator, a Tampa-based innovation hub that connects Israeli startups with Florida’s business community, has launched a new event series to help hospitality leaders stay ahead of fast-moving technology trends.
On May 7, 2025, Tampa Bay Wave hosted its annual Tech|X Pitch Night, the culminating event of its nationally recognized Tech|X Accelerator program, powered by the Nielsen Foundation. The event featured 15 high-growth startups across AI, healthtech, fintech, legal tech, and more, each having spent months refining their ventures through mentorship, investor coaching, and strategic support.
Eduardo Lorenzo Arevalo isn’t your typical founder, and Synergize Services isn’t your typical logistics company. Based in Tampa, Synergize is operating at the intersection of clean energy, advanced materials, and global logistics, with a client roster that includes Fortune 500s and defense giants like Northrop Grumman. In this Q&A, Arevalo shares why he chose to build his company in Florida, how he’s blending purpose with scalability, and what’s next as Synergize prepares to launch transformative infrastructure projects across the U.S. and beyond.
Walk into any department store and you’ll see endless racks of mass-produced clothing, designed to fit the “average” person. But here’s the problem: there’s no such thing as an average body. Each of us has unique proportions, preferences, and postures—making off-the-rack clothing more of a compromise than a solution.
