The Miami Scientific Italian Community is unique in representing a country that has changed its own perception
In a recent article by *Riley Kaminer on Refresh Miami, the opportunities of the players in Miami’s innovation ecosystem are explored. The Miami Scientific Italian Community is the only Italian organization mentioned.
Miami is increasingly becoming a gateway for international companies: a melting pot of cultures and a thriving hub for international trade and business. Today, it is also becoming one of the main destinations for foreign startups looking to establish a foothold in the U.S. market. This transformation is partly driven by a range of innovative soft-landing services designed to support these international businesses in their transition to the American commercial environment. Miami’s soft-landing services open the door for international companies. For international entrepreneurs, it’s increasingly clear that Miami is not just about fun in the sun (though that is also part of it).
There has never been so much support for global founders who want to enter the U.S. market through South Florida. Soft-landing programs typically offer a range of services, including office space, mentorship, networking opportunities, and access to local resources, all designed to help foreign companies overcome the complexities of entering a new market. These services play a crucial role in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, making Miami and South Florida attractive destinations for businesses from all over the world.
Exploring some of the leading programs that offer soft-landing services in Miami, highlighting how they are helping international entrepreneurs find success in the U.S., we find the Italian Miami Scientific Italian Community, the first Italian Technology Transfer Center abroad with the institutional goal of creating a link between the academic and industrial worlds to promote the transfer of innovative technologies and support the competitiveness of the Italian and American industrial systems. It brings together small and medium-sized Italian companies and new technologies, supporting, alongside its members, technological development programs and participation in U.S. grants, regional and national ITA measures, or Horizon Europe.
Miami Scientific Italian Community facilitates access to local resources, networking opportunities, and specialized support for scientific and technological initiatives, contributing to bridging the gap between the two markets and fostering innovation and growth.
I am a Miami-based technology researcher and writer with a passion for sharing stories about the South Florida tech ecosystem. I particularly enjoy learning about GovTech startups, cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence, and innovators that leverage technology to transform society for the better.
