Multinational study looks at 'revenues under management' in Greater Miami area

October 31st, 2007

South Florida’s multinationals oversee in excess of $150 billion in global revenues, according to ongoing and partial research being conducted by WorldCity in conjunction with the Beacon Council.

WorldCity, which maintains a Who’s Here database of more than 1,200 multinational companies representing more than 55 nations around the world, all with South Florida offices, intends to complete the research in December and report on its results in early 2008 both in print and at an event.

The top local official for each of the 1,200-plus multinationals will all be invited to the event and receive a copy of a report prepared by WorldCity recapping the results of the survey.

This is an exciting survey, one that has been a long time coming, and one we are glad to be orchestrating with the Beacon Council, said WorldCity President Ken Roberts.

For a relatively small city, at least on the global scene, Miami and South Florida have outsized influence due to the concentration of not only Latin America headquarters but Americas headquarters for European and Asian nations.

In addition to the Beacon Council, the Who’s Here revenue study is being sponsored by HP, CBRE, Auxis, the University of Miami, Baptist Hospital and Telefonica.
