The Sahlgrenska Global Health Hackathon is coming to Tampa on April 5-6, 2025, and we
need your ideas to help solve some of healthcare’s biggest challenges!
The blue economy is growing fast. From climate resilience to sustainable seafood, port management to offshore energy, the future of our oceans is deeply tied to innovation. For startups building solutions in ocean data technology, there’s now a unique opportunity to accelerate that journey.
For Rocha, the experience was revelatory. “Entrepreneurship is this universal language,” she says, reflecting on her time in Vietnam. “The same challenges—access to capital, hiring the right people, figuring out product-market fit—exist everywhere. What changes is how ecosystems respond and how we nurture and strengthen them.”
In today’s fast-paced world, making plans with friends should be simple—but often, it’s anything but. Between unanswered group texts, last-minute cancellations, and the overwhelming clutter of social media feeds, staying connected in real life has become more complicated than ever. That’s where Last Minute: Join the Party comes in.
Miami has emerged as a global hub for entrepreneurship, technology, and investment, attracting talent and capital from around the world. At the forefront of this transformation are visionary women who are shaping the city’s future through leadership, innovation, and economic development. Meet five women leading the charge in Miami’s evolution:
When Marlon Wentworth moved to Tampa Bay from his native Miami, he knew exactly what the Bay Area was missing: fleets of luxury cars lining the streets that are commonplace in South Florida. So in 2019, Marlon and his wife Jessica founded Energetic Exotics, a premier luxury car rental and chauffeur service with hubs in Tampa Bay, Orlando and Sarasota. Energetic Exotics offers a bespoke fleet of high-end vehicles, including Maybachs, Maseratis, and G-Wagons, alongside tailored concierge services. With business booming and more high-end vehicles being added to the fleet to meet the growing demand for their services, we spoke with the couple to see what lessons they’ve learned after entering entrepreneurship and what plans they have for the future.
LowCarbon, a global leader in climate technology and carbon-neutral solutions, has chosen Tampa, Florida, as the site for its U.S. headquarters. This pivotal move underscores the company’s commitment to advancing sustainability through innovative carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) technologies and clean hydrogen production.
Tampa Bay is becoming a hub of innovation and economic growth, and at the forefront of this momentum is Kap Rate Group, a new commercial real estate firm led by seasoned investor Jose Juarbe. With over two decades of experience in real estate investment and development, Jose is setting a new standard for the industry, bringing a fresh approach to commercial real estate that emphasizes transparency, trust, and long-term relationships.
Endeavor Miami has announced its latest EndeavorLAB Women Founders Cohort, featuring 10 high-growth companies led by visionary female entrepreneurs. This new cohort is a testament to the growing influence of diverse leadership in Miami’s business ecosystem, reflecting a commitment to fostering inclusive economic growth and empowering women founders.
