An extensive group of statewide CEOs has created a new economic development roadmap to leverage regional strengths and advance high-performing industries.

The Florida Council of 100 recently released “Beyond Sunshine: Advancing Florida’s World Class Economy for the Next Generation.” The extensive report, compiled by global consulting firm McKinsey & Company, provides a data-driven framework to promote high-priority economic clusters in six regions.

Those include distribution, logistics, finance, health services and medical technology in Tampa Bay, the report’s Central West region. Michael Simas, the council’s Sarasota-based president and CEO, said the overarching goal was to identify high-wage, resilient job clusters “where we’re already competing and winning talent compared to jurisdictions around the country.”
