Finalists Announced for the 12th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch
Niceville, FL – Vertex Solutions was among the first round of the 12th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Finalists recently announced. The awards event - now in its twelfth year - honors impressive second-stage companies from throughout the state for developing valuable products and services, creating quality jobs, enriching communities, and broadening new industries throughout Florida.
Together, the 12th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Finalists represent nearly 2,000 jobs and generate over $430 million in revenue. These companies, all of which are “worth watching,” anticipate a growth of 40-percent in revenue and 18-percent in employment by the end of 2022.
The 66 Finalists were selected from more than 400 nominations across the state and are now in the running to be named a GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch Honoree. If one of the 50 selected as an Honoree, Vertex Solutions will join the 550 second-stage companies across the state that have been recognized since 2011.
“This group of business owners represents the remarkable second-stage businesses operating across the state of Florida,” said Jennifer Taylor, President, and CEO of GrowFL. “They demonstrate the agility, perseverance and innovation needed to take their business to the next level. GrowFL is proud to support Florida’s second-stage entrepreneurs and help to play a part in recognizing their success. We look forward to celebrating these innovative companies as they continue to grow and have a significant impact on Florida's economy."
Companies to Watch was developed by the Edward Lowe Foundation as a unique way to recognize and honor second-stage companies that demonstrate high performance in the marketplace with innovative strategies and processes. In addition to evaluating past growth and projected success, applicant companies are judged according to their special strengths and impact in their markets, communities and within the state – thus deeming them “worth watching.”
The Honorees for this year’s award will be announced in October. The 12th Annual GrowFL Florida Companies to Watch awards celebration will take place on February 23, 2023, at Hard Rock Live, Universal City Walk, Orlando, FL. For more information, visit https://growfl.com/about-growfl-flctw/
