St. Pete Advantage
Historically known as a tourist destination, St. Petersburg has much more to offer with nearly 16,000 businesses and opportunities for growth in major industry sectors: Marine and Life Sciences, Specialized Manufacturing, Financial Services, Data Analytics, and Creative Arts and Design. Notably, the city is home to the largest financial services sector in Florida as well as the largest marine research center in the Southeast.
What our newest businesses say
When it comes down to it, we're a St. Pete company. We've got 72 factories around the world. We've got about 50 million feet of manufacturing space. And I'll tell you: the offers we got to move to other locations? I'm really glad we didn't. We got courted but when it comes down to it, we're a St. Pete company. I think it's great for the community, good for the state of Florida and this is just stage one.
Mark Mondello, CEO of Jabil
