About the GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Event Series
The GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Event Series is a comprehensive program celebrating and supporting the state’s most innovative and growing second-stage companies. More than just a recognition program, it’s a year-long journey designed to showcase the power of entrepreneurship and connect leaders who are driving Florida’s economy forward.
Our series kicks off with Finalist Recognition Events held across the state, bringing local communities together to celebrate the incredible achievements of this year’s honorees. These events provide an exclusive opportunity for finalists to network, share their stories, and build connections with peers and community leaders.
The journey culminates in the highly anticipated Awards Gala, a premier event where we honor the 50 selected companies. This formal celebration brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community partners from all corners of Florida to pay tribute to the spirit of innovation and perseverance. It’s an evening of inspiration, shared success, and invaluable networking.
Beyond the awards, the program offers the GrowFL Leadership Institute. This exclusive, peer-to-peer program is tailored specifically for the leaders of honoree companies. Through a series of workshops and collaborative sessions, participants gain actionable insights and strategic tools to accelerate their company’s growth, ensuring the journey of success continues long after the awards have been given.
Together, these events form a powerful platform that not only recognizes success but also fuels future growth, solidifying Florida’s reputation as a hub for entrepreneurship and business excellence.
