The Florida High Tech Corridor Council’s mission is to attract, retain and grow high tech industries and the
workforce to support them within the 23-county Florida High Tech Corridor. Located at the center between UCF, USF, and UF, Florida’s High Tech Corridor is easily linked by the Florida Interstate system with only a 90-minute drive between them, providing easy access for all research scientists.
HistoryAttracting, retaining and growing high tech industry is important to Florida. In 1996, the Florida Legislature established the Florida High Tech Corridor Council (FHTCC) to help develop the workforce to support those industries in the 23-county service areas of the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the University of South Florida (USF). In 2005, the Council welcomed the University of Florida (UF) as a full partner of this unique economic development initiative, merging the strengths of three world-class universities.Th ose partnerships have resulted in a strategic approach to high tech economic development that involves matching funds research, workforce development and a marketing program leveraging governmental, academic, economic development organizations and corporate budgets on a regional rather than local basis (www.fl oridahightech.com).Every year, dozens of companies participate in this unique program that leverages the strengths of the three Corridor universities in the development of commercially-applicable emerging technologies. Th e Matching Grants Research Program was established to foster applied research between the partner universities and their high-tech industry

partners. Under the auspices of the FHTCC, sponsored research programs are currently underway at UCF and USF. UF joined this eff ort in January 2005. Each university has a commitment of $2 million for the Matching Grants Research Program each year. Since the inception of the FHTCC, the Matching Grants Research Program has generated more than $133 million in applied research with industries targeted for growth. Th ese industries are: Medical Technologies & Life Sciences; Aviation and Aerospace; Information Technology; Microelectronics and Nanotechnology; Modeling, Simulation and Training; Optics and Photonics and Agritechnology.

As a business location, the Metro Orlando area is scintillating in its diversity. We’re home to a whole spectrum of industries: Hardware. Software. Simulation and Training. Digital Media. Photonics. Advanced Manufacturing. Biotechnology. Film and Television Production. Aviation and Aerospace. Distribution. And lots more. Our locales are just as varied. From a bustling urban center to pristine natural settings - and everything in between - we can satisfy vir tually any corporate requirements, and give you plenty of room to grow.

Business Start-Ups
Orlando has a rich support system for business start-ups. Th e UCF Technology Incubator for Business is nationally recognized for its eff orts and since its inception in 1999, it has incubated a total of 80 companies, which translates to a rate of approximately one company per month over a six year period, including 50 current clients and 14 graduates. Collectively, the incubator’s clients and graduates have created more than 700 jobs with an average salary of $59,000 and have received more than $140 million of investment capital and generate $150 million in revenue each year.
At the University of Central Florida, biomedical researchers are advancing our understanding of human disease and developing innovative methods of treatment. Many are engaged in research on the world’s most prevalent and serious health problems, including cancer and cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and infectious diseases.

Metro Orlando is a young community that is rapidly developing a proven track record in raising
substantial philanthropic funds. Metro Orlando also has a signifi cant and growing population of high net worth individuals that represent untapped funds, a tremendous upside in overall community giving.
Examples of Metro Orlando’s philanthropic infrastructure include:
In less than six months, UCF raised more than $100 million in pledges for its College of Medicine, including state matching funds and the value of Tavistock Group’s pledge of 50 acres at Lake Nona. Th e Central Florida community responded eagerly to the medical school eff ort and UCF President John Hitt’s call for support, with more than a dozen hospitals, corporations, organizations and individuals donating $1 million or more each.
Th e Winter Park Health Foundation, a $125 million grant making foundation, is devoted to making Central Florida the healthiest community in America (www.wphf.org).
Th e Community Foundation of Central Florida holds over 350 individual, family and corporate funds valued at approximately $40 million, and serves the charitable needs of communities throughout the Central Florida region. Th e Community Foundation, headquartered in Orlando, is also a member of the Florida Philanthropic Network, which boasts Florida’s largest and most infl uential philanthropic foundations as members (www.fpnetwork.org).
Rollins College Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofi t Leadership, located in Winter Park, is the recognized leader in philanthropic management, leadership and governance issues for the State of Florida.

Many of Metro Orlando’s residents were not born in this region. Th is huge infl ux of new residents means that many of the region’s new high net worth individuals have not yet become actively involved in local philanthropic activities.

Central Florida is ready NOW to be your home for your research and scientifi c expansion. The proposed site for The Burnham Institute is waterfront property and is entitled and ready for development, today. And,
as part of the City of Orlando, Lake Nona has at its fi ngertips a metropolitan area complete with diverse local communities and regional resources.
Lake Nona is developed as an exceptionally well-designed, holistic, planned community that is not only a great place to live, work and play, but also learn. Today, the community already has housing for every lifestyle and home preference, with homes ranging from $260,000 townhouses to multi-million dollar lakefront estates.
More than 40% of the Lake Nona master plan has been reserved for open space and lakes. A Primary Conservation Network (PCN) made up of 1,189 acres of designated conservation area, supplemented by 181 acres of new park space and over 31 miles of linked trails, combine to provide recreational opportunities for the community.
As the development unfolds, there will be numerous golfi ng, tennis, jogging, equestrian, fi shing and boating amenities added to the initial offerings already available today.
