Defense Contractors

The Tampa Bay Defense Alliance (TBDA or The Alliance) identified four important audience segments that we serve on an ongoing basis. While many of our efforts apply to all of our audience segments, each individual segment has their own specific needs and to that end, require specific services and efforts to be expended on their behalf as part of our Mission: To Champion the Defense Community.

What does the TBDA do to serve our defense contractors?

Promote and grow the region’s military missions and installations;
Provide support and incentives for the national defense community to remain or relocate in the eight county area;
Encourage increased defense business relocation through tax and other state incentives;
Create greater awareness of our eight counties’ military-friendly environment including support for defense contractors;
To improve the state’s military friendly environment for service members, military dependents, military retirees and businesses who bring military and base-related jobs to the state;
To support the state’s position in research and development related to or arising out of military missions and contracting;
Showcase Tampa Bay and its culture to our Coalition Partners serving at US Central Command; and
Increase mutually beneficial economic development opportunities for the State of Florida, the Tampa Bay Region, MacDill Air Force Base (https://www.macdill.af.mil/ ), and other area military installations.
