Miami-Dade Innovation Authority

Miami-Dade Innovation Authority, Inc. (“MDIA”) bridges the gap between private innovators and the public sector to fast-track innovation that improves the quality of life for Miamians.

MDIA identifies, invests, and supports early-to-growth stage companies from across the globe to pilot, test, and validate their technology and solutions to pressing public challenges. Its novel approach de-risks future investment, accelerates the discovery and commercialization of market-ready technology solutions, and helps clear the pathway to revenue-based growth for startups.

We are an independent non-profit founded as an outcome of collaboration between Miami-Dade County and key technology leaders to develop a vehicle to strengthen the relationship between the economic engines of Miami-Dade County and technology companies with innovative solutions that improve the quality of life for residents.
