OURS IS WORTH A
BILLION DOLLARS.
This region seen above by satellite looked a lot different in 1995 before our
universities joined hands and created the Florida High Tech Corridor Council
to grow high tech industry and employment. Today (at right) it shines brighter
than ever before with high tech employment at an all-time high. In fact, a
recent study showed the Florida High Tech Corridor ranked as the fourth
largest tech hot spot for jobs.
Thanks to the Corridor���s Matching Grants Research Program, Florida���s
investment of $55 million has created 1,200 applied research project
partnerships with 350 companies with a verified downstream impact of more
than $1 billion generated from sales contracts, patents, federal and other
grants ��� not to mention the jobs our partner companies are creating.
