About InternetCoast
InternetCoast is a tri-county initiative to brand the South Florida region a global high-tech and life science hub. The organization began as a grassroots movement in 1998 through the leadership of individuals from business education and government and became a not-for-profit 501(c)3 in 2000 with the guidance and support of the three South Florida economic development organizations – the Miami-Dade Beacon Council Broward Alliance and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach.
