Metro
Orlando Technology Strategy
In December of
1999 the City of Orlando, Orange County and Economic Development
Commission of Mid-Florida commissioned the team of Angelou Economics, The
University of Texas IC2 Institute, and M+W Zander to
begin constructing the Metro Orlando Technology Strategy. An advisory
committee of local technology, academic and public sector visionaries
provided guidance.
The
Metro Orlando Technology Strategy seeks to expand and strengthen the
existing technology business base in our region. The Strategy provides
for an economic analysis, entrepreneurship strategies, site
assessment and a marketing and branding strategy for the region.
The
Metro Orlando Technology Strategy has validated what we already know,
Metro Orlando is well on its way to becoming a world renowned high tech
center.
