Space Florida PR – Florida-based small and medium sized, growth-oriented companies working in the state’s key industry clusters are poised to receive support from a new program that seeks to expand the level of investment available to these businesses. The I2 Capital Acceleration Program (pronounced I squared for “Igniting Innovation”) is a cooperative project between Space Florida and the Technological Research and Development Authority (TRDA) to assist Florida-based companies within the Aerospace/Aviation, Biotech/Life Science, Clean and Alternative Energy, Defense/Homeland Security, or IT/Telecommunications industry sectors.
“The I2 program is an exciting expansion of both Space Florida’s and TRDA’s activities in technology-led economic development,” remarked Frank DiBello, Space Florida President and CEO. “We look forward to working with TRDA to prepare Florida companies for investment and to boost deal flow in the state,” he continued. The program is funded under a U.S. Department of Commerce financial assistance award to Space Florida and was competitively awarded to TRDA.
