'If we unify the business community for good, good things happen.'
Florida Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson opened the 2023 Future of Florida Forum with an update on the state of Florida business and a look toward the future.
If measured as a country, Florida would be the No. 16 largest economy in the world, about on par with Saudi Arabia, and the Chamber’s long-held goal is for the Sunshine State to crack the Top 10. Florida’s GDP currently sits at $1.03 trillion; No. 10 South Korea had a $1.63 trillion economy in 2022.
Growing the state economy that much over the next seven years is a tall order, but the Florida Chamber Foundation research team has copious data on how much the state is expected to grow, where it currently stands, and what the business community needs to do to meet the challenge.
