The Tampa Bay Innovation Center's vision is to serve as the focal point of innovation for the State of Florida and the Tampa Bay Region. Their mission, Accelerate Entrepreneurial Success, is carried out along three major areas: building technology companies, building the innovation community, and teaming with innovation partners. They accomplish the mission by: raising awareness for the startup community through educational programming and outreach activities, advising and mentoring innovators and entrepreneurs, connecting company founders with public/private funding, and hosting growing companies within a dedicated incubator facility.
