MIAMI

GET Cities is proud to announce that it has chosen Miami as its third hub. Miami’s values of inclusivity, partnership, and collaboration, as well as its rapid tech job growth, both provide a unique opportunity to align the city’s tech ecosystem around equity.

Why Miami

With many global tech giants having already begun to establish a presence in Miami, these are the early days of attention on a city built on its diversity and striving to be one of the most inclusive tech hubs in the country. As the number of visible women founders, investors, and workers in Miami tech continues to rise, we aim to capitalize on this growth to accelerate the representation and leadership of all marginalized genders and races.
Miami has a highly diverse population, with 71% of its residents identifying as Hispanic and 14% of residents identifying as Black.
