Nineteen regional health care, education and government organizations have united to create an artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to increase business opportunities for local and minority-owned companies.
Launching this fall with a $1.2 million investment from the Health Foundation of South Florida, the new Regional Business Marketplace is meant to be a uniformly vetted vendor pool from which local anchor organizations can draw contractors.
Participating organizations include Miami-Dade and Broward counties, their public-school districts, Florida International University, Broward College, University of Miami, UHealth and Broward Health – which together form the South Florida Anchor Alliance – and 10 local public and private institutions.
