Regional Cooperation
South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward and
Palm Beach Counties) has been designated
a “megaregion of the future” and a driver of
future U.S. economic growth. In an April
2009 special section, “South Florida: Where
Innovation, Creativity, Education and Global
Access Meet,” Inc. magazine called the region
“one of the most connected places on earth.”
The Inc. article cited South Florida’s
transportation connections and deep
business and cultural ties to Latin America,
the Caribbean, and Europe. “Companies
that do business internationally particularly
covet the area’s skilled, multi-cultural
workforce,” said the article. “Altogether, the
region’s growing bioscience cluster, thriving
industries, international population, and
popularity as a destination make it a dense,
active business community.”
Overall, South Florida is the 7th largest
metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the
nation with 5.4 million residents – roughly
one-third of Florida’s total population.
Approximately 60 percent of the population is
in the prime working ages.
South Florida business and community
leaders work together to take a regional
approach to economic development. For
example, the Greater Fort Lauderdale
Alliance, the Miami-Dade Beacon Council,
and the Business Development Board of
Palm Beach County jointly developed a
regional marketing campaign called “South
Florida: Your Global Business Connection”
where the South Florida area was marketed
through brochures and DVDs in multiple
languages (English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish).
Recent Locations, Relocations
and Expansions
Greater Fort Lauderdale continues to attract
global, national and regional companies. Here
are some recent examples of companies who
have located, relocated or expanded in the area:
Locations and Relocations
Emerson
Emerson, a diversified global manufacturing
and technology company, recently selected
Sunrise as the site for its Latin American
regional headquarters. Emerson will relocate
more than 50 people who work for its Latin
America corporate office and key businesses
that operate in the region to Lake Shore Plaza
II, Broward County’s first LEED-certified multitenant
office building. Those businesses include
Emerson Process Management, Emerson
Climate Technologies, Emerson Network
Power and Emerson Industrial Automation.
“Latin America is a growth market
opportunity for Emerson and our U.S.-based
executives engage with our customers and
our operations throughout Latin America,”
said Leo Rodriguez, president of Emerson
Latin America. “Consolidating our regional
headquarters at a single site in South
Florida creates cost efficiencies, but just as
importantly it provides Emerson with access
to direct air travel, proximity to a large
number of Latin America-related companies
and branch offices, an opportunity to enhance
collaboration among our businesses, and the
availability of a multilingual workforce.”
The Wendy’s Company
The Wendy’s Company is locating its South
Florida headquarters, as well as its Latin
American headquarters, in a new class A
office building in Sunrise. The company has
leased the entire top two floors of the building,
comprising approximately 11,000 square feet.
The facility also serves as an executive training
center that will accommodate international
and out-of-area visitors.
Ray Ferrero Jr., Greater Fort Lauderdale
Alliance CEO Council chairman and
chancellor of Nova Southeastern University,
said, “We are pleased that Wendy’s has chosen
to bring its Latin American and Florida
corporate headquarters to Sunrise and
welcome them to the Greater Fort Lauderdale’s
area complement of over 150 corporate and
international regional headquarter operations.”

independent private jet charter brokers and
consultants, established its regional office in

Vegas or Chicago, but the presence of the Fort
Lauderdale Executive Airport – one of the
nation’s busiest – and the assistance provided
by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance
CEO Council and City of Fort Lauderdale
Economic Development officials motivated
us that Fort Lauderdale was indeed the right
choice to use as a platform for the entire
North American market,” said founder and
CEO Hugh Courtenay.
The Fort Lauderdale office is the company’s
fifth in its network, complementing locations
in London, Nice, Dubai and Moscow. The
staff will be expanded to six employees in the

Starmark International
Starmark International, a leading advertising and interactive

agency headquarters location. Peggy Nordeen, Starmark CEO and
past chair of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, commented on
the assistance Starmark received from the Alliance in finding an
appropriate location for its 50-employee headquarters in Broward
County. “Whenever a company determines that it’s time for a
move, there are many considerations on the table. The Alliance has
had significant impact on our organization over the years and once
again supported our efforts in choosing our new location.”
About The Alliance
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance is Broward County’s
official public/private partnership for economic development.
Its mission is to lead Broward County in building a stronger and
more diverse economy by stimulating the creation of new jobs
and capital investment while facilitating the growth and retention
of businesses in Broward County. Services offered by the Alliance
include assistance with business relocation or expansion and site
selection; incentive programs and information; market research
and serving as a liaison for workforce development between
educational institutions and the business community.
During the past eight years, the Alliance has directly assisted more
than 2,200 companies, resulting in the creation of over 12,000 new
jobs, the retention of more than 9,000 jobs and the generation of
over $750 million in capital investment in Broward County.

BRAVO
One of the major goals of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance

Small Business Development and local
municipalities and chambers of commerce
conduct visits to local businesses in an
effort to strengthen the local economy.
In the past year, more than 100 local
companies were visited through the
BRAVO program. The visits include
discussions of programs available to
businesses wanting to expand in Broward
and information regarding issues such
as workforce development, international
trade and access to financing. In 2008, the
Alliance received the “Award of Excellence”
from Business Retention and Expansion
International for its BRAVO program.
Minority/Small Business Development
While nearly 90 percent of Broward’s
businesses employ fewer than 25 people,
collectively they constitute the largest
sector of the county’s economy. These
small businesses provide a wide array of
products and services to private and public
customers.
In order to best serve this important group of
businesses, the Alliance is an active member
of many organizations that promote and
assist in the growth of minority and small
businesses in Broward County.
Additionally, each year the Alliance
awards membership scholarships to
minority and women-owned businesses
to engage these emerging companies in
economic development initiatives and
Alliance activities. This is a unique threeyear
program that allows qualified leaders
full membership in the Alliance at a
subsidized and escalating rate.
