| The Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission
(EDC) is an organization that helps business. We are dedicated to
meeting the needs of today's industries and creating a competitive
economic climate where businesses can thrive. To meet this goal,
the EDC provides key services and support, which range from
relocation and expansion expertise to export counsel to long-term
planning with our community partners. |

|
Our charge is basically two-fold. To attract new
business investment, we market the Orlando region worldwide as a
top location for business. In addition, we work with local
companies to assist them with expansion plans and other business
concerns.
The EDC is also home to the Metro Orlando Film
& Entertainment Commission, which markets the region as a
top production location and to bioOrlando, a council that works to
accelerate growth of the life science and biotech industry in
Central Florida.

With the support of our community partners, the
EDC, since its start in 1977, has successfully assisted thousands
of companies relocate, expand and grow in Metro Orlando. This has
led to the creation of more than 158,000 jobs; over $8.8 billion in
capital investment; and almost 75 million square feet of office and
industrial space leased or constructed. More than 2,000 film and
television production projects have been filmed here during the
past 10 years.
A not-for-profit, private/public partnership, the
EDC serves Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties and the City
of Orlando. We are proud to have been recognized among the top
economic development groups in the world.
