Economic Development
JAXUSA Partnership, the private nonprofit division of JAX Chamber, is Jacksonville’s regional economic development initiative overseeing the efforts of the seven counties of Northeast Florida. JAXUSA’s mission is to be a catalyst for economic growth and maximize the region’s unique resources to aggressively recruit jobs and capital investment to our area. Since 1990, JAXUSA has been a driving economic force within the Jacksonville region and, together with our partners, have helped create more than 100,000 jobs and $6 billion in capital investment.

Supporting Business Owners
Whether someone is starting a new business or growing an existing one, the Chamber’s Entrepreneurial Growth Division, JAX Bridges, Small Business Center (SBC), and Jacksonville Women’s Business Center (JWBC) can help them achieve their goals through mentoring, training, resources, and networking programs.

JAX Chamber’s Beaches Division and Councils
The Beaches Division is dedicated to the growth and development of our coastal communities—from Mayport Village to Ponte Vedra Beach and everywhere in between.
The Chamber has 10 councils across the city which help drive conversation and engagement on critical issues. Six of the councils (Arlington, Downtown, Mandarin, North, South and West) are based on geography. Four (Health, Information Technology, Transportation and Logistics and the Professional Women’s Council) are industry- or issue-specific. The councils are the largest engagement point for Chamber members.
