Innovation
Build Florida’s Next Economy
Florida should be one of the best places in America to build a company, develop new technology, create jobs and turn a good idea into something successful. Frank wants Florida leading the next generation of American innovation - but growth should work for the people who already live here. That means welcoming investment while protecting taxpayers and communities, preparing Floridians for an economy being transformed by AI, and giving more entrepreneurs the opportunity to build and grow businesses here. Frank's approach is simple: Welcome innovation. Create opportunity. Demand accountability.

Data Centers & AI Infrastructure
Florida should compete for AI, technology investment and high-paying jobs - but existing residents shouldn't be left paying for the infrastructure that makes major developments possible.
Frank's Florida Community Dividend framework would require major data center projects receiving public incentives to plan responsibly for their power, water and infrastructure needs while providing binding, measurable benefits to the communities where they build.

AI is going to change how Floridians work, what skills employers need and which industries grow.
Frank wants Florida preparing now - attracting the industries and jobs of the future while investing in education, skilled workforce programs and opportunities that help Floridians adapt as AI and automation reshape the economy. His Florida Future Fund specifically includes investment in preparing students and workers for AI and emerging technologies.

A good idea shouldn't depend on having the right connections or already having access to capital.
Frank's proposed $100 million Florida Women's Entrepreneur Initiative would help qualified women learn the fundamentals of running a business, develop a viable plan, access professional support, compete for performance-based startup assistance and grow businesses that create Florida jobs.

Frank doesn't believe innovation should be measured simply by how many companies move here, how many projects get announced or how much government spends.
The test should be what it produces:
Are we creating Florida jobs? Are Floridians prepared for the future? Are taxpayers getting measurable results? And are more people getting a fair shot at building something successful?
That's how Florida can lead the future without leaving Floridians behind.
