Why AI Matters for Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, home to more Fortune 500 headquarters than any other Florida city, and ranks #3 nationally for economic growth. With a $6.5 billion downtown development pipeline and 35,000+ tech workers, the city's business landscape is primed for AI transformation.

FIS, one of the world's largest fintech companies with 55,000+ employees and 20,000+ clients across 130+ countries, is headquartered here. Jacksonville's financial services sector employs 9.7% of the local workforce, and AI is transforming fraud detection, risk assessment, and customer automation across the industry.

Logistics & Port Powerhouse

JAXPORT is Florida's largest container port, handling 1.3 million+ TEUs annually with capacity expanding to nearly 2 million.
