[ Welcome]

The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, in partnership with the Board of County Commissioners and the Palm Beach County Office of Economic Sustainability, is pleased to present Profile. This magazine is an annual publication that provides an overview of our diverse and robust business community. This issue of Profile Magazine highlights several of our leading corporate citizens – companies that have chosen Palm Beach County for their home – as well as a look at why our region is so attractive to entrepreneurs from throughout the U.S. and around the world. Our publication also features a comprehensive view of our county’s diversified industry clusters. We recognize that nurturing key industries improves the competitiveness of businesses within these industries, in turn boosting the overall economy. With their synergistic impact on other businesses, Palm Beach County’s industry clusters bring diversity and financial stability to the region. The proximity of similar companies creates business efficiencies, and encourages neighboring enterprises to advance innovation, spur investment, launch fresh initiatives, and create jobs. Therefore, the BDB proactively markets the county as a competitive place to do business in the following knowledge-based clusters:

Agribusiness Aviation, Aerospace & Engineering Business & Financial Services Corporate Headquarters Creative Industries Equestrian Green Energy Healthcare International Commerce IT & Telecommunications Life Sciences Marine Industries

Profile Magazine also showcases the framework for economic development and how Palm Beach County benefits from a collaborative approach involving leadership in the private business sector, education, and government entities. We know that maintaining a healthy and resilient economic climate requires the focused efforts of our entire community. Partnering with county government, Workforce Alliance, chambers of commerce, and public and private educational institutions, along with business organizations is absolutely critical to showcasing Palm Beach County to a new business. Although the past few years have been challenging for businesses and families, Palm Beach County has a welldeveloped regional strategy that leverages our core strengths. In 2011, the BDB experienced a notable increase in company expansions and relocations that resulted in the creation of many new jobs. Some of those announcements included: ALDI, Inc., America’s Natural Caffeine from Brazil, Convergent, Image SkinCare, and Mobile Help. Today, the county’s unemployment rate continues to decline, and our region has regained its forward momentum for building a bright and prosperous future. Throughout 2012, creating jobs and growing our economy will continue to be the driving force of our marketing and economic development initiatives. We hope you enjoy reading about Palm Beach County’s competitive business environment and the assets that make this area so unique and desirable. We invite you to contact our professional staff and 350 business members to learn why Palm Beach County is the best place to live, work, learn and play.

Palm Beach County Commission

Palm Beach County is known world-wide as a desirable location for new and expanding business opportunities. With an ideal climate, vast amenities, and a pro-business environment, it is easy to understand why companies seek to make this county their home. We remain competitive in the marketplace by staying ahead of the curve, being receptive to new trends and implementing policy that will lead to the creation of new jobs and facilitate economic prosperity.

Major industry clusters throughout the county continue to experience steady growth. In the field of Life Science/Biotech/High Tech we have seen a 38 percent increase over the past four years, with current salaries averaging $77,640 per year in businesses including Scripps Research Institute, Max Planck Florida Institute, and CHS Pharma. The Aerospace/Aviation Technology industry which includes companies such as Sikorsky, Florida Turbine Technologies, and Chromalloy has grown 26 percent over the past five years with current salaries averaging $88,304 per year. Manufacturing businesses are also on the rise, and efforts are underway to expand our free trade zone to include the entire county. Concurrent with the growth of these industries are the efforts underway to train skilled workers. As a former science instructor, it is gratifying to see our educational institutions

keep in step with technology by developing new curricula to meet the needs of industry. Florida Atlantic Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Palm Beach State Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Math & Science Institute and Biotechnology Programs, and the Secondary Science Programs in our School District, provide opportunities for students to learn and receive hands-on training and internships for high tech jobs. This is the kind of synergy that is building a new local workforce. To be sure, much of our success in drawing business to the county and diversifying our industries depends on the successful collaborations of government entities, private industry partners, business development organizations and educational institutions. On behalf of the County Commission, I welcome you to Palm Beach County and look forward to working with you.

Palm Beach County

Quick Facts

Palm Beach County's strategic location is ideal for trade, as it is centrally located between Miami and Orlando, and within easy reach of all of the major air and sea ports in the state of Florida. Palm Beach County is part of the Miami Customs District, utilized by much of Latin America and the Caribbean as the first destination for goods to be distributed to the rest of the United States and Europe, and vice versa. The Port of Palm Beach is the fourth-busiest container port of Florida’s 14 deepwater ports, and is the 18th-busiest container port in the United States. In fiscal year 2010, the port moved over 213,000 20-foot container units. Palm Beach County has a state-of-the-art transportation and logistics system that is comprised of an international airport (Palm Beach International) with an integral Federal Inspection Facility, and a seaport with a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ #135). These ports have easy access to the Florida Turnpike and Interstate 95, along with two major railways (FEC and CSX). Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA), centrally located in West Palm Beach and easily accessible from I-95, is one of the largest medium-hub airports in the United States. On average, about 6 million people a year pass through PBIA. At 2,578 square miles in total area, Palm Beach County is one of the largest counties in the eastern United States and the largest among Florida's 67 counties. The population is estimated at nearly 1.3 million. Population increased approximately 3.1% annually from 1990 through 2000, compared to double and triple that rate in the 1980s. The area's projected population for the year 2014 is over 1.33 million. Palm Beach County is the national leader in the production of sugar and fresh sweet corn, and is also Florida’s leading producer of rice, bell peppers, lettuce, radishes, Chinese vegetables, specialty leaf and celery. Palm Beach County is one of the only counties in Florida awarded “AAA” bond ratings by Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Palm Beach County‘s Parks and Recreation Department operates 79 parks, including two water parks. County parks include more than 8,000 acres of land for residents and guests to explore.

Palm Beach County is often referred to as “The Golf Capital of the World™” with more than 150 public and private golf courses. It is the Spring Training home of the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, who train at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.

But Palm Beach County’s other key assets for corporate and regional headquarters include a large professional workforce, strategic East Coast location and convenient air access to domestic and international destinations. “Skilled people, a great climate, low taxes and an ideal location are why we’re here,” said Dennis Shaughnessy, chairman, FTI Consulting (NYSE: FCN), a global business advisory firm with $1.6 billion in revenue, 4,000 employees and operations in 22 countries. Based in West Palm Beach, FTI provides political risk assessment, forensic investigations, crisis communications and other enterprise services. Its biggest offices are in London, New York and Hong Kong, with a Latin American office in Miami. In two historic cases, FTI Consulting was retained by the liquidation trustee of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities in the global

investigation of the largest reported Ponzi scheme in U.S. history, and by the receiver in the multibillion-dollar fraud investigation involving Stanford Financial Group. “Originally, what got me to Palm Beach County was the equestrian world,” said Shaughnessy. “My daughter and wife compete in equestrian events, and we are the proud sponsors of the Winter Equestrian Festival, so I started working here from an office.” After reviewing a number of locations for a corporate headquarters, Shaughnessy said West Palm Beach was a natural choice. “It offers ready access to good administrative talent and an active social setting, including sports, culture and recreational amenities – with no state income tax. Air travel is also critical for us, and we’ve found that Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) is one of the easiest airports in the U.S. for in and out access. Our visitors from out of town all rave about PBIA.”

Matthew Smith Shoes For Crews

A ‘SURE-FOOTED’ GROWTH STORY Back in 1984, Matthew Smith’s parents founded Shoes For Crews, an innovative company offering shoes with slip-resistant soles for the restaurant industry. When the company moved to West Palm Beach in 1995, it had just 10 employees. Today, Smith is the CEO of the world’s leading manufacturer and direct-distributor of slip-resistant footwear with 230 employees here and 500 worldwide employees. “Key advantages for us include no state income taxes, easy access to bilingual employees, a customer friendly airport and a wonderful quality of life,” Smith said. “It’s also a plus that Palm Beach County is the winter home of many Fortune 500 CEOs.” In 2011, Shoes for Crews relocated to a new 37,000-square foot headquarters, and continues to hire new employees. The company’s customers range from McDonald’s and Burger King to MGM Resorts and Starwood Hotels. “We are a classic entrepreneurial success story,” Smith said. “I’m only 40 years old, but I‘ve been working at our company for more than 20 years. I even got married in my Shoes For Crews slip-resistant wing-tips!”

A NEW ARRIVAL In 2011, aviation company Chromalloy celebrated its 60th anniversary in a big way: choosing Palm Beach Gardens for its corporate headquarters and new Technology Center of Excellence. “During the past two years, Chromalloy has refined our research and development roadmap for engine services and that strategy includes a robust pipeline,” said CEO Armand F. Lauzon, Jr. “The new center will assure the greatest dynamic between senior leadership and the company’s world-class technical staff that represents our future.” A subsidiary of Tampa-based Sequa Corp., Chomalloy is one of the nation’s largest suppliers of repairs and replacement parts for turbine engines. Now, Chromalloy is finishing the interior work on a 30,000-square-foot office, lab and technology development space, and 10,000 square feet for a warehouse. Palm Beach County

“There were two key factors for Chromalloy,” said CEO Armand F. Lauzon, Jr. “First, the area is recognized in our industry for its wealth of highly qualified turbine engine engineers. Second, all levels of local government and the state helped to make our experience easy and efficient. Everyone involved in our decision to locate in Palm Beach Gardens demonstrated a genuine understanding of what it takes to keep business moving in these challenging times.”

EXPANDING IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Headquartered in Palm Beach County since 2007, Image Skincare has grown its workforce from four to 40 people, while expanding its global reach to 27 countries. “From the mailroom to the boardroom, everyone can use our clinical skin care product line,” said CEO Janna M. Ronert, who co-founded the company in 2003 with her husband Marc. “We work with licensed physicians, professionals and distributors all over the world, so the regional airports are particularly important to us.” Image Skincare recently purchased a 35,000-square-foot

facility in Lantana to expand its offices, research and development space, sales, customer service, and distribution activities, and will be adding about 30 new jobs in the next few years. “In our business, it’s important to have a location with a worldwide brand,” said Ronert. “We have a growing base of sophisticated customers in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia who know about Palm Beach County.”

SECURITY COMPANIES Palm Beach County is also home to many branches of G4S, a leading security provider based in the United Kingdom. The company’s G4S Americas Regional Offices, Latin American headquarters, the G4S North America Training Institute, G4S Strategic and International Accounts as well as local West Palm Beach and Boca Raton offices are located in the county. “We are continuously hiring and training talented employees and using local resources for our operations,” said Drew Levine, president, G4S Secure Solutions, North America. “We frequently showcase the natural beauty of our area, use

A subsidiary of Montreal-based Garda World Security Services (TSX:GW), Garda Cash Logistics is the second largest cash logistics firm in North America, processing more than $200 billion annually. Announcing the move, Stéphan Crétier, Garda’s president and CEO, said he was “excited to move our U.S. headquarters to Boca Raton, which will provide us the ability to expand in the United States.” He added he was “impressed with the vibrant business climate Florida is seeking to create.” Another growing Palm Beach County company is SBA

> Aerospace/Aviation/Engineering For Lockheed Martin, Palm Beach County is an ideal location for developing leading-edge military and commercial products. “The Palm Beach region has a growing maritime industry,” says Richard Holmberg, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin’s operations in Palm Beach County. “We are proud to be part of this dynamic area and excited about what the future holds for us here.”

Lockheed Martin’s flagship program in Palm Beach County is the U.S. Navy’s Remote Minehunting System – an autonomous, semi-submersible, undersea vehicle paired with a sonar system to detect and localize mines. “Our Riviera Beach location on the Intracoastal Waterway gives us easy access to the open ocean that facilitates testing of this important U.S. Navy program,” adds Holmberg. On the commercial side, Lockheed Martin is developing Marlin™, an autonomous underwater vehicle that will enable energy companies to inspect offshore oil and gas platforms and pipelines more safely, efficiently and cost-effectively. Another project is MagneLink®, a revolutionary magnetic wireless, throughthe-earth communications system that will enable trapped miners to communicate with the surface following an accident. The Lockheed Martin facility in Palm Beach County added 75 new employees in 2011. Holmberg says “The combination of a skilled workforce and pro-business environment has allowed us to invest in and expand our facilities to support our programs.” In northwestern Palm Beach County, Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. is expanding its assembly, development and testing operations for a heavy-lift helicopter used by the U.S. Marine Corps. “The expansion will support the continued development of the next generation of high technology rotorcraft in Palm Beach County,” 38

said John Fischetti, general manager, Flight Development Center. Sikorsky, which employs over 1,000 workers at its Flight Development Center and Florida Assembly and Flight Operations campus, has established experimental assembly line operations for the new CH-53K heavy-lift helicopter. “We are witnessing the dawn of a new age in rotorcraft development and construction,” said Dennis Jarvi, vice president, Navy and Marine Corps Programs for Sikorsky. “The CH-53K helicopter is being designed, developed and manufactured in a digital environment. We have created ‘virtual tools’ that will improve the learning process. The CH-53K helicopter stands to become a model of innovative technology and capability when it takes its role in the fleet.” The 60,000-square-foot CH-53K helicopter facility has been updated to create a modern assembly area. Sikorsky expects to begin testing the helicopter in 2012, launch the first flight in 2014 and ultimately build more than 200 of the aircraft. Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). Since 1959, United Technologies Corporation has been in operation in Palm Beach County with Pratt & Whitney military engine programs and Sikorsky development and certification programs that have included research aircraft such as the XH-59, fly-by-wire aircraft and the UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter.

> Agriculture and Equestrian Led by Peter F. Pero, IV, chairman/CEO, Pero Family Farms is a fully integrated farming and marketing organization that has been part of Palm Beach County’s agricultural sector for more than 100 years. “Our farming heritage has given us the experience and expertise to bring our customers high quality, fresh, healthy and nutritious products,” said Ed Sullivan, marketing director. “One of our major goals has been to keep farming a viable and vibrant industry in Palm Beach County.” With more than 11,000 acres of farmland, Pero Family Farms is one of the country’s largest producers/growers, distributors and marketers of premium quality, fresh vegetables, including bell peppers, specialty peppers, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, green beans, eggplant, pickles, and hard squash. “Our company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and state-ofthe-art farming allows us to preserve the lands we harvest and the environment,” added Sullivan. Pero also has farms and facilities in Georgia, Michigan, New York, and Tennessee, helping to make Pero Family Farms one of the largest and most respected brands in the U.S. Another key contributor to the agricultural sector is Florida Crystals, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010. “When Florida Crystals was founded in Palm Beach County in 1960, the company grew sugar cane on 4,000 acres of land and produced 10,000 tons of raw sugar,” said Pepe Fanjul, Jr., executive vice president. “Today, using our sustainable farming practices, we grow crops on 190,000 acres in South Florida and have sugar operations in six countries.” Florida Crystals is the world’s largest producer of refined cane sugar, with a capacity of 7 million tons annually. It is the only domestic producer of certified organic sugar –grown, harvested and produced in Palm Beach County. In fact, Florida

Crystals is the largest organic farmer in Florida, and its renewable energy facility is the largest biomass power plant in North America. As Fanjul said, “After 50 years of growth, we are proud to continue to have our now global headquarters here in Palm Beach County.” In the equestrian sector, Palm Beach County supports a rich cluster of horse-related businesses and activities. “We estimate there’s a $600 million direct and indirect economic impact here,” said John Walsh, president of club operations, International Polo Club. That includes about 60 polo fields in Wellington. “We have continued to grow, with a schedule that includes 260 polo games in a four-month season,” said Walsh. “Our goal is to keep growing the sport.” In the past few years, International Polo Club has partnered with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission to bring in lacrosse, rugby and soccer teams, including the 2011 national championship for the American Youth Soccer Association. In 2012, International Polo Club will host the field hockey national championship competition involving about 8,000 athletes. “This type of activity supports the growth of small businesses in our area,” added Walsh. Mark Bellissimo, CEO, Equestrian Sport Productions, points to the importance of the equestrian industry to the entire Palm Beach County community. His firm produces and manages the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), a 12-week annual extravaganza at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) in Wellington that draws more than 250,000 attendees. In addition to Olympic-caliber competition, the WEF hosts the nation’s premier competition for children, juniors, adults and amateurs drawing thousands of competitors and spectators. It will host the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. “Horse sport has become hugely popular among CEOs and investors,” he said. “Our facility makes it possible for these families to live and compete in a beautiful environment that we believe will lead to many of those companies establishing offices in Palm Beach County.” Bellissimo is also managing partner of Wellington Equestrian Partners, which is planning Equestrian Village, a new development with a proposed five-story hotel, 45,000 square feet of retail space, 30,000 square feet of office space and a commercial equestrian arena focused on dressage. The project would cover 59 acres in Wellington's Equestrian Preserve Area. The WEP partnership's vision is to transform Wellington into a premier equestrian lifestyle destination while creating an economic and philanthropic engine that enhances the local community. “This vision is centered around the appreciation and love of the horse,” Bellissimo said. “We look forward to working closely with the BDB to bring more businesses to Wellington in the future.”

> Film/Digital From film production and digital content development to Spanish-language and specialty networks, Palm Beach County hosts a thriving information and entertainment industry cluster.

For instance, Digital Domain Media Group and Florida State University are collaborating in the creation of the Digital Domain Institute, a new school and adjoining digital production studio in West Palm Beach. Founded by John Textor, a native of West Palm Beach, Digital Domain is a special effects company based in Port St. Lucie whose work appears in dozens of films, including Thor, The Smurfs and X-Men: First-Class. Digital Domain Institute will offer a bachelor of fine arts degree in animation and digital arts through FSU, with the first class scheduled for the fall 2012 semester. It will open in a temporary facility at CityPlace, but move to its own free-standing facility at 401 Okeechobee Boulevard by 2014, said Frank Patterson, FSU’s dean of the college of motion picture arts. West Palm Beach has donated a 2.4-acre site for the facility, while also contributing a $10 million grant and $15 million loan. In announcing the program, Textor said, “This will create a base of employees willing to work very efficiently, while they’re in college, to serve more than just the interest of Digital Domain. We’re building a platform for others to cluster around us.” Palm Beach County’s cultural assets are an important draw for entertainment industry executives, according to Laurie Silvers, president, Hollywood Media Corp. in Boca Raton. “We have many fine educational institutions, here as well,” said Silvers, who co-founded the company in 1993. Today, Hollywood Media Corp. consists primarily of an ad sales division, an intellectual property division and various financial assets. A founder of the Sci-Fi Channel, Silvers said, “I’m an entrepreneur who enjoys building businesses, as well as raising a family, and Palm Beach County is a great place for both.”

One of the county’s leading entertainment and communications companies is Olympusat, which delivers its Hispanic, Specialty and Faith & Family Networks to cable operators, telecom providers and direct broadcast satellite companies in the United States and Latin America. That includes the FUNimation Channel, the only 24-hour anime television network in the United States. In 2011, the West Palm Beach company launched two strategic business units: Olympusat Telecom and Olympusat Digital Post Production Studios, with suites in West Palm Beach and in Mexico City. “Olympusat Telecom meets the growing demand for

> Green Industries Leading-edge solar power research is underway in Palm Beach County through a partnership between Scripps Florida and NextEra Energy, whose subsidiaries include Florida Power & Light (FPL). NextEra has been testing five commercially available solar technologies in a rooftop laboratory at its corporate headquarters in Juno Beach. Now, NextEra and FPL energy experts are working with Scripps Energy & Materials Center scientists at the research institute in Jupiter to address three key challenges of the energy sector: Improving the economic viability of large-scale clean energy expansions Increasing the output of next-generation renewable energy technologies Enhancing the efficiency and storage capabilities of the nation’s electric grid “Energy independence is critical for the future of our economy, security and environment – for Florida and the nation as a whole,” said NextEra Energy president and COO Jim Robo. “We are fortunate to have such a renowned research facility in our backyard, and our synergy is powerful.” NextEra Energy and FPL are key economic drivers in Palm Beach County with more than 3635 employees and supporting a $115 million supply chain in the county. In addition, Fortune magazine’s 2011 list of “World’s Most Admired Companies” ranked NextEra Energy as the most admired company in the utility industry. In 2010, NextEra Energy was ranked by Fortune as one of the top 10 companies worldwide for innovation, joining Apple, Google, Nike and others. Referring to the new “green alliance between NextEra and Scripps, Harry Orf, vice president for scientific operations at Scripps Florida, said, “We are delighted to participate in this

partnership, which advances the knowledge-based economy in the state. These kinds of collaborations are critical to the economic future of Florida.” Southern Waste Systems is also contributing to the region’s sustainable future, according to Patti W. Hamilton, vice president/director of business development. “As a state leader in recycling, we are always seeking ways to offer our customers the opportunity to send less material to the landfill,” she said. “We are expanding our commercial recycling opportunities and investing in new recycling markets.” That helps the company preserve natural resources and keep wood, concrete, metals and earth out of area landfills. In addition, Southern Waste Systems recently launched a new initiative to plant nearly 6,000 trees a year. “Our county needs to be on the cutting edge in promoting sustainability and green practices in our businesses,” Hamilton said. “It is our corporate responsibility to manage the waste we generate, conserve the energy we use and look to conserving water.”

> Healthcare Services Palm Beach County’s healthcare institutions are growing in size and stature, providing stateof-the-art services to the region. “Ensuring the community’s health is a win-win situation for business leaders and civic leaders alike,” said Bob Broadway, vice president, corporate strategy, Bethesda Healthcare System, Boynton Beach. To support the western communities, Bethesda is constructing Bethesda West Hospital, an all-private-room 80-bed hospital that will open in January 2013– the first new hospital to open in Palm Beach County in 23 years. Bethesda West Hospital has been designed to grow to 400 beds over the next ten years, using environmentally sound practices. Bethesda West Hospital will be supported by Bethesda Memorial Hospital, a 401-bed, comprehensive hospital that provides open-heart surgical services with the Bethesda Heart Hospital, a full-service maternity and pediatrics center, with a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and an inpatient rehabilitation facility with the Cornell Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine. JFK Medical Center in West Palm Beach has taken a leadership role in academic medicine through a partnership with Florida Atlantic University and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “We added a new surgical residency last July, and we continue to produce well-trained physicians for Palm Beach County,” said Gina Melby, CEO. The hospital also offers a residency program in internal medicine and a self-sponsored podiatry program. JFK Medical Center is also in the forefront of providing quality medical care, as well as leading-edge healthcare

technology. “We have grown from a community hospital model to a tertiary care academic model with the support of our local physicians,” said Melby. “That’s important from an economic growth perspective, since CEOs want to be sure that excellent care is available in our region.” To the north, Jupiter Medical Center is expanding its clinical care, medical education and clinical research programs. “We are a full-service facility providing a continuum of care for our community,” said John Couris, president and CEO. Founded in 1979, the 283-bed regional center offers clinical research trials to the community, and recently teamed with Scripps Florida to conduct research on human cancer tissue. It is an affiliate of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. In 2001, orthopedic surgeon W. Andrew Hodge, M.D., designed and patented the 3D (Data Driven Design) Knee, a revolutionary concept in knee replacement providing increased strength and stability for highly active individuals. Now, Jupiter Medical Center is adding to its main campus, as well as launching a collaboration with NuVista Living to develop a $70 million continuing care senior community in Abacoa. This project, scheduled to open in 2013 will include a 70-bed assisted living facility and a 30bed memory disorder facility. It is expected to create about 150 new jobs for the area.

> Life Sciences With innovative life science companies like Biotest, GLG Pharma and Synthes Anspach, Palm Beach County provides a supportive environment for pharmaceutical, bioscience and medical device manufacturers. For example, Opko Health recently acquired Curna, one of the first spin-offs from Scripps Florida’s academic research. Based in Jupiter, Curna is an early-stage developer of non-coding RNA-based treatments for cancer, heart disease, metabolic disorders, and genetic anomalies. “We captured the attention of Drs. Philip Frost [a leading South Florida biotech entrepreneur and investor] and Jane Hsiao,” said Curna co-founder Claes Wahlestedt, who invented the technology and is now professor of psychiatry and associate dean for therapeutic innovation at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “There was much interest from outside Florida, but we wanted to keep the company here. Commercialization of biomedical research is good for patients, companies and the South Florida region.” For CHS Pharma, an emerging biotechnology company in Jupiter, one of the key business advantages is proximity to the county’s world-renowned research institutions. “FAU’s Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (CMBB) is the center of our scientific research, and we are a licensee of FAU innovations,” said Stephen Chakoff, CEO. The chairman of CHS’s Scientific Advisory Board is Herbert Weissbach, director of the FAU center. CHS Pharma is focused on treatment for a precancerous skin condition known as actinic keratosis. The company’s board members, scientific and clinical advisors include several leaders in the South Florida biotechnology sector, including Neil Flanzraich, former president of IVAX; Elliot Hahn Ph.D., founder of Andrx; and Brian Berman M.D. a faculty and staff member of the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine. In the past decade, one of Palm Beach County’s most successful life science companies is Diagnostic Test Group, which sells its Clarity brand tests through a worldwide sales network. “We make rapid tests for the point-of-care market,” said Greg Lustig, chief operating officer of the Boca Raton company launched a decade ago. Sales have grown by about 33 percent annually – more than three times the industry average, according to Lustig. “One of the things that makes us unique is having 24-hour customer service and test support,” Lustig said. “We also have a full-time scientist on our staff, helping to develop new products.” Diagnostic Test Group is also developing a new middleware system that will enable portable medical devices to connect to electronic medical record (EMR) systems. “We are very loyal to Palm Beach County,” said Lustig. “We believe it’s a great benefit to be based here.”

Scripps Florida Scripps Florida – a division of The Scripps Research Institute, headquartered in La Jolla, California – is a state-ofthe-art biomedical research facility located on 30 acres in Jupiter, Florida. An additional 70 acres are available for expansion on the large adjacent “Briger” tract of land in the city of Palm Beach Gardens. Using the latest cutting-edge technologies, researchers at Scripps Florida focus on basic biomedical research and drug discovery. As of January 2011, more than 400 faculty members, scientific, technical, and administrative staff work at the 350,000-square-foot campus, which is comprised of three state-of-the-art research buildings. By 2014, the campus is expected to house more than 60 faculty and 550 total staff. Currently, six basic academic departments of Scripps Research are represented at Scripps Florida – Cancer Biology, Chemistry, Infectology, Metabolism and Aging, Molecular Therapeutics, and Neuroscience. In addition, Scripps Florida is home to the Translational Research Institute, a collection of scientific centers employing cutting-edge technologies to speed development of new therapies and products, in essence, beginning the important process of “translating” breakthrough scientific discoveries into practical applications.

Max Planck Florida Institute Nears Opening Germany's Max Planck Society is looking forward to a June, 2012 FOUNDATION completion date for the Max Planck Florida Institute’s 100,000-square-foot F L O R I D A laboratory and office building on six acres at Florida Atlantic University's John D. MacArthur Campus in Jupiter. The institute is now operating from nearby temporary facilities. The new research facility is designed to accommodate nearly 58,000-square-feet of laboratory space that will house wet and dry bench research, instrumentation labs, computational research, core imaging facilities and microscope suites, information technology services and offices for researchers and support staff. The scientific facilities will be organized into three research wings, including guest labs to facilitate collaborative research with the scientific community in the field. A study conducted by Enterprise Florida anticipates that the research organization will support the creation of more than 1,800 jobs, both directly and indirectly, over the next two decades, and generate more than $2 billion in economic activity.

Entrepreneur’s Paradise

> John Duffy 3Cinteractive

John Duffy knows that Palm Beach County is a warm-weather paradise for entrepreneurs. As founder and CEO of 3Cinteractive, Duffy led the Boca Raton technology company to remarkable success. “We started with three guys in a one-room office in Delray Beach,” Duffy says. “We recently hired our 100th employee, and are very proud to achieve that milestone. As entrepreneurs, we know there is nothing more important for a young technology company than building a quality team, and there is a great pool of talent here.”

Today, 3Cinteractive (3Ci) is the leading provider of cloudbased mobile software and services for Fortune 1000 companies. Its Switchblade® platform will process over 6 billion mobile transactions this year. Forbes recently named 3Cinteractive one of America’s Most Promising Companies, ranking 12th on the publication’s second annual list of U.S.based, high-growth, privately held companies. John Sculley, former CEO of Apple and Pepsi Cola Co., is the chairman of 3Ci, whose investors include legendary Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino. “He comes by the office pretty often and has been known to fire a Nerf football around,” says Duffy. “Not many other companies can say that on any given day you might come to work and see the greatest all-time QB throwing passes in the hallway of your office.” Duffy says that mobile technology is one of the world’s fastest growing industries. “We are just scratching the surface of its potential, and we are confident that 3Ci will remain the

leader in delivering enterprise mobility solutions,” he added. Looking ahead, Duffy said 3Ci will continue to benefit from the region’s skilled workforce, including information technology (IT) graduates from the area’s colleges and universities. As he says, “When you combine awesome people with a great climate, solid infrastructure and low taxes, why would you start a business anywhere else.”
