InsurTech relocation, Launchpad Volusia and Chamber events highlighted at board meeting
Summary
Volusia County reported an industrial relocation supported by a water-quality grant, the Launchpad Volusia entrepreneurship program completed a 25-business cohort and the Daytona Regional Chamber previewed upcoming events.
Daytona Beach — Volusia County economic development staff and the Daytona Regional Chamber gave the board a series of business-development updates.
Lou Paris said county staff helped a metal-plating company (referred to in remarks as Incertec/Incertec/InsurTech) secure a site in Edgewater and activated a water-quality grant to address sewer/water-volume issues tied to the building. "We were able to help, a company called InsurTech... and this move will make them first or second biggest in the country," Paris said, noting county staff expect auxiliary suppliers and related businesses to follow.
Monty Fletcher and county partners said Team Volusia will support a press release with the company and is pursuing additional aerospace and advanced-manufacturing inquiries in the region. Fletcher also highlighted the county’s MarketWatch and international business outreach through Select Florida.
Kristen Weiss, the Daytona Regional Chamber’s new president and CEO, said the Chamber hosted MarketWatch with Team Volusia and highlighted two upcoming items: an aviation/aerospace program on Jan. 8 with a keynote from an Embry-Riddle speaker, and the Chamber’s annual meeting on Feb. 2 featuring John O’Leary.
The county’s Launchpad Volusia program completed its first cohort of 25 businesses at the Volusia Innovation Hub and will run four cohorts yearly; the program will recruit its next cohort beginning in January.
