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.
With a mission rooted in transparency, balance, and purpose-driven leadership, Insurance Elevated is redefining how agents thrive and clients are protected in today’s insurance landscape.
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.
Jay Maska, CEO of Nonstop Financial, deeply understands this imperative. Under his leadership, Nonstop Financial is swiftly reshaping the $1.1 trillion life insurance and annuities market by transforming what was historically viewed as a protective measure into an active, accessible pathway toward sustainable, generational wealth.
Garyn Angel is on a mission to revolutionize education starting with the soil. As the founder and CEO of Farm-Ed, Angel is bringing controlled environment agriculture, AI, and financial literacy into classrooms through hands-on, project-based learning.
Tampa Bay Wave has announced the 15 startups selected for its highly competitive 2025 Tech|X Accelerator, a flagship program powered by the Nielsen Foundation that supports high-growth, high-impact tech companies. The cohort spans industries from healthtech and fintech to AI, legal tech, and edtech, bringing a fresh wave of innovation to Florida’s thriving startup ecosystem.
Synapse Summit 2025 wasn’t just a tech event—it was a strategic pivot for Tampa Bay’s innovation ecosystem. With a sharper regional focus, fewer but more intentional connections, and major players stepping up to give back, the Summit showed what happens when a community builds with purpose.
The Florida-Israel Business Accelerator (FIBA), a driving force in Florida’s startup ecosystem, is set to spotlight some of Israel’s most cutting-edge companies—CyberWell, Aviv Clinics, and Xtend—at the 2nd Annual Israel Day at the Capitol on March 25-26, 2025.
