Greater Fort Lauderdale sits in the center of the South Florida tech ecosystem, the sprawling hub of tech and innovation spanning between West Palm Beach to the north and Miami to the south. The South Florida Tech Alliance, an organization with a deep history in Greater Fort Lauderdale rebranded to TechLauderdale as it celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2019 as part of a partnership with the Broward Workshop.
