First Pictures of the book!

The first advance copies of INNOVATE® Gainesville have just landed and the book is beautiful! Job well done Pablo Casilimas and team!

This book is a shining example of an Innovation Ecosystem in a smaller town that stands together to promote their city and its Entrepreneurs.

Front Cover of the INNOVATE® Gainesville Coffee Table Book.

From the University of Florida to the Butterfly Rainforest, Gainesville is as innovative as it is diverse. INNOVATE® Gainesville explores the city’s innovation ecosystem in 200+ pages of tech-enabled features, focusing especially on industries and ventures that make the city unique.

While Gainesville is known for its educational institutions, INNOVATE® Gainesville showcases such programs as UF Innovate, and Innovation Academy, University of Florida – Alachua County, among others, revealing just how deep those roots reach—and the way they reach always toward innovation.

In Gainesville and in the pages of INNOVATE® Gainesville alike, you’ll find brio! Cold Brew, Admiral VRM (Visitor Relationship Management); and Paracosm, who create handheld, ultra-fast 3D scanners.

INNOVATE® Gainesville also features Gainesville Prosthetics and others in its Healthcare & Health Tech chapter—which, alongside a strong showing in its Marketing & Events chapter, including SharpSpring, Advanced Digital Media, and Accelerate Digital Media—reveal the breadth of the city’s innovation. Watch this space for more innovation stories coming out of The Tree City.
