The SWARM! is the culminating event for the 12-week veteran-owned business accelerator. The Program was made possible through the public-private partnership of Fort Walton Beach and Venture Hive.  Benefits of the program include a world-class curriculum of highly practical workshops and training sessions, access to a collaborative working space in Fort Walton Beach for a year, mentoring from a vetted network of local, national and international entrepreneurs and experts.  This year seven companies were selected directly from the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area and represent why Fort Walton Beach was selected as a top ten city for Veteran Entrepreneurs.  The event also showcases seven veteran-owned companies from all over the country as they premiere their companies, services, or products to Florida's Emerald Coast.
