Like death and taxes, government regulation is an unavoidable fact of life for businesses in healthtech, aerospace, fintech, and many other sectors. The government is also a major – and sometimes the largest – customer within some of these industries. Mastery of the regulatory environment often means the difference between leadership and breakthrough success – or simply reacting to survive.
Whether it's regulatory compliance or competing for government contracts, these hurdles are larger for smaller companies operating in emerging technology centers outside the traditional Northern California and New York investment hubs. One such area is Florida's I-4 corridor, which includes the Space Coast, Orlando, and Tampa. But the potential for success – guided by regulatory experience and smart capital – is enormous. What happens when you combine these elements?
