A Message from Maria Sachs

Palm Beach County has earned a global reputation as a world-class live, work, learn, and play destination. From its founding over 100 years ago to the remarkable transformation it continues to enjoy today, the county and its 39 municipalities have unique characteristics connected by shared commonalities. In Palm Beach County, our diversity defines us. We’re home to a multitude of Fortune 500 companies and their local operations, thriving mid-sized corporations, and startups eager to flourish in a unique ecosystem.

Before the pandemic, our business-friendly appeal and inviting climate attracted upwards of 150 companies to relocate or expand here in the last five years alone. We’re also home to diverse and in-demand business sectors. We’ve long been known for high tech, fintech, and cleantech, as well as manufacturing and logistics, aerospace and aviation, and a host of others. Our agriculture sector reigns as the “king of winter vegetables.”

We’re also defined here by what unites us. From our Atlantic beaches to the edge of the Everglades and north to south, the county features abundant opportunity. Employers find the current and future workforce being honed today at the highly rated School District of Palm Beach County, area colleges and universities, and CareerSource Palm Beach County. Together, they are preparing a steady stream of right-skilled talent for in-demand, high-salary jobs.
