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.
