Welcome to GrowFL

Taking Florida Companies to the Next Level

Cultivating growth companies across the state is the mission of the Florida Economic Gardening Institute, funded by the Florida Legislature at the University of Central Florida and involving a host of partners committed to local delivery of statewide services to help second-stage companies achieve their potential.

At no charge, GrowFL will provide a suite of high-end, high-speed technical assistance and business resources to companies that have grown beyond the startup phase and need access to information and decision-making tools typically only available to larger companies.

A team of highly trained and experienced analysts will be deployed to function not as consultants but as an extension of your business … consider them elite staff at your disposal to take your company to the next level.

How it Works

Working with the Edward Lowe Foundation, a nationally recognized entrepreneurship development organization, GrowFL will apply lessons learned from the proven art of “economic gardening,” pioneered more than a decade ago in Colorado and now being applied nationwide to help second-stage companies grow. GrowFL will draw on the strength of a unique partnership that includes the Florida Economic Development Council, Enterprise Florida, Workforce Florida, the Florida High Tech Corridor Council and others working to identify and cultivate hundreds of growth companies.
