At both the state and local levels, companies involved in the supply chain receive strong support from associations and advocacy groups. The Treasure Coast Manufacturing Association (TCMA) works to improve the business climate of the industry by connecting talent to distribution and supply chain companies. Florida Makes offers a program called the Florida Manufacturing & Supply Chain Advocacy Council which includes members of associations like TCMA that create grassroots campaigns to elevate industry issues to key state leaders.

The Treasure Coast is served by several transportation resources, including the I-95, which stretches throughout the region and to Jacksonville in the north and Miami in the south. Florida East Coast Railway also intersects with CSX, providing cross continental support for logistics companies, while the Treasure Coast International Airport continues to expand its operations. If flying is more your style, Vero Beach Regional Airport offers commercial flights on Breeze Airways to destinations in the Northeast.
