Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
CHICAGO— Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Jamal Sowell, president and CEO of Enterprise Florida, traveled to the Windy City on Thursday to meet with some of Chicago's top financial firms to discuss the beneficial business climate in Florida.
"This week, I had the opportunity to meet with several leaders in Chicago's financial services industry to tout Florida's pro-business climate and the many advantages of doing business in our state," said Gov. DeSantis.
He adds, "Florida offers a stark contrast to high-tax and overly regulated states like Illinois, and our world-class education system and talent pipeline welcome companies to expand in or relocate to the Sunshine State. I will remain committed to promoting Florida's strong economy to create more opportunities for businesses and Floridians to succeed."
Gov. DeSantis and Sowell met with Chicago businesses: Keystone Capital, KPMG, Loop Capital, CME Group and Northern Trust.
"I was proud to join Governor DeSantis this week in Chicago to share Florida's business story with leaders in the financial services sector," said EFI president & CEO Jamal Sowell. "Enterprise Florida will continue to promote the Governor's bold vision for economic prosperity for our state to continue to make Florida the destination to start or grow a business."
