Cape Coral's Award-winning Medical, Eco and Other Emerging Industries Create Opportunity

Other emerging clusters such as green industries, professional business services, marine fabrication, defense contracting, and transportation create a rich diversity of opportunity for your business relocation. With boundless entrepreneurial opportunities in Florida's target industries, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and an abundant and growing skilled labor supply, it’s only natural that more and more companies are building their future on Southwest Florida’s shores. 

Cape Coral benefits from its central location midway between Tampa and Miami, giving companies easy access to Orlando and the Space Coast, as well as to seaports on both coasts. The city’s proximity to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) means fast, dependable air shipment. 

An analysis of Cape Coral’s industry clusters reveals the City’s tremendous growth potential and business opportunites. Most industry clusters show growth outpacing not only the national average, but South Florida peer regions, as well. Our goal is to think strategically to extend local success and entrepreneurial opportunities to export-oriented development.
