Jacksonville, FL — JAX Business Calendar, a free, nonprofit digital platform designed to centralize and amplify business and community events across Northeast Florida, officially launched on January 21, 2026, during the Silicon-Beach.ai Pitch event hosted at the University of North Florida – Coggin College of Business.
The platform offers founders, startups, small business owners, and professionals a single, centralized place to discover business events, educational opportunities, networking gatherings, and ecosystem initiatives happening across the region — at no cost to users or organizers.
The launch marked a major milestone for Jacksonville’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, bringing together founders, small business owners, community leaders, and ecosystem builders under one shared mission: making it easier to find the right rooms, the right conversations, and the right connections to grow.
“Jacksonville has an incredibly active business community, but too often people miss opportunities simply because they didn’t know where to look — the information was scattered,” said Florian Vlad, local founder of JAX Business Calendar. “This platform exists to remove friction, spotlight what’s already happening, and help people show up.”
JAX Business Calendar operates as a free, nonprofit, community-driven initiative, guided by a board of advisors made up of respected leaders from across Jacksonville’s business, education, and innovation communities. The platform’s mission is to serve the ecosystem by improving visibility, encouraging collaboration, and supporting inclusive participation in local economic growth.
The platform was built by TwinzAPP Digital LLC, in collaboration with University of North Florida – Coggin College of Business and Panda Technology, reflecting a cross-sector effort between technology builders, educators, and innovators invested in Northeast Florida’s long-term growth.
JAX Business Calendar is now live and publicly accessible at www.jaxbusinesscalendar.com.
