Pushing The Industry Forward

Fostering Innovation Through Collaboration: Empowering Technology and Policy-Makers Alike

At the Florida Blockchain Business Association (FBBA), we believe in allowing technology to thrive without the heavy hand of big government, while equipping policymakers and officials with the tools and insights they need through strategic partnerships.

In the seven years since the FBBA’s founding, we’ve witnessed remarkable advancements in technology. Take artificial intelligence (AI), for example—what once seemed like a distant promise is now rapidly becoming a transformative reality in less than a year.
