As the world’s fourteenth largest economy, Florida’s international sector continues to grow. One of Florida’s top metro areas, Metro Orlando, is at the top of that growth. In fact, Metro Orlando is one of the United States fastest growing business locations and is increasingly being considered as an expansion location for international companies.
Recent expansions at our key transportation centers, Orlando International Airport and Port Canaveral, further connect our community with the rest of the world. And, a strong high tech industry of 4,600 companies and 85,000 employees puts the region at the forefront of innovation.
In addition, Metro Orlando has been ranked as one of the fastest-growing major export markets in the state of Florida. Metro Orlando's development as an international center of commerce has been profound. Today, high tech products such as scientific instruments, medical equipment, microchips and telecom equipment, are some of the region’s predominant export products. These exports are sent to countries all over Asia, Europe and Latin America.
Positioning Metro Orlando as a leader in the global economy is a priority of the EDC's International Business Development Team. Specifically, efforts are designed to enhance international business in the region by directly assisting hundreds of local companies with export sales strategies and by working directly with international companies looking at their global expansion options.
These efforts include assisting with the site selection process, connecting international companies to small business assistance programs, helping companies identify potential tax incentives, hosting international business development missions and inbound trade missions, and helping local companies identify and capitalize on sales opportunities worldwide.
