FloridaMakes, a public-private, sector-led partnership, is run by an alliance of Florida's regional manufacturers' associations. Its sole purpose is to strengthen and advance Florida's economy, increase productivity, and improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector. The emphasis will be on small- and medium-sized businesses. This is achieved by offering services that focus on three main value streams, technology adoption, talent development, and business growth. FloridaMakes serves as the state representative for the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership National Network (MEP).
