Southwest Florida
Fort Myers is the digital-first chapter of BSWFCC.
A growing regional economy, a fast-expanding Brazilian community, and a chapter built to connect the two with modern tools.
The Region
Why this chapter matters
Fort Myers anchors one of Florida's most active growth corridors. New residents, new businesses and new capital continue to arrive — and with them, a rapidly expanding Brazilian entrepreneurial community.
That growth creates opportunity, but also noise. Businesses that are visible, connected and credible move first. The Fort Myers Chapter exists to put its members in that position.
We serve entrepreneurs and companies throughout the region, whether they are established here or expanding into Southwest Florida from Brazil.

Digital-first
A chapter that behaves like a modern business.
Membership, member accounts, business profiles and events all live in one connected BSWFCC platform. This public site is the outward-facing layer of that same system.
That means information members maintain once shows up where it matters: in the public directory, on their own indexable business page, and alongside chapter events — without duplicate data entry or a separate CMS.
