Our Mission: Diversify South Florida’s Economy

MIT REAP’s Global Economic Development Impact to date:

South Florida has long relied on tourism, real estate, and international trade alongside a small but mighty group of major, homegrown corporations. While recent waves of entrepreneurship have elevated it to emerging tech hub status, MIT REAP can help accelerate the growth of innovation-driven industries—such as technology, life sciences, and clean energy —to build a more resilient, diversified economy.

Miami’s participation in MIT REAP is an opportunity to align its diverse stakeholders, develop a clear roadmap, and secure its place as a leading global ecosystem for innovation-driven entrepreneurship.

MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program

The MIT REAP Framework consists of a series of action learning mechanisms to translate, convene, and educate teams of regional leaders through a five-stakeholder approach. The MIT REAP teams address their existing system by developing a strategy to deploy new interventions to improve it. To learn more, please watch the video below:
