DAVID FULLER

2015-2016 Orlando EDC Chair President, SunTrust Foundation

This year will go down in the record books as one of the most successful for the Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC) with more than 5,600 projected new jobs in our region. As the Orlando EDC chair, it has been my pleasure and honor to serve our community as we work collectively towards creating positive economic growth.

In an effort to further strengthen our region’s position in the national and global marketplace, the boards of directors for both the Orlando EDC and the Central Florida Partnership (CFP) unanimously agreed this year to combine forces and capitalize on our shared goals of enhancing our region’s economic opportunities, business climate and quality of life. This new organization, once finalized, will serve as a catalyst for forward-thinking and diverse regional growth.

As Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” We are on a mission to bring innovative approaches to economic development that will reshape our regional economic landscape and ensure our prosperity.

I want to sincerely thank the EDC board members, investors and partners for their hard work and commitment. I would also like to thank the EDC staff, leadership, and in particular Holly Wiedman, for her dedication to economic development. As I look ahead to the upcoming fiscal year, with Crystal Sircy as the new EDC Executive Vice President, I know the future is bright for our region. You have all given 100 percent of your time and talent. The work is always worth it.

HOLLY WIEDMAN

Orlando EDC Executive Vice President

For many years, the Orlando EDC has been steadfast in its mission to grow jobs in our great region. I am thrilled to say that, as a direct result of our strong partnerships with both the public and private sectors, our business development accomplishments make this past year our best year ever. The numbers are impressive, as you’ll see in this annual report, with Orlando leading not just the state but the nation in job growth. What is even more impressive is the impact the work of the EDC has had on the lives of those individuals who now have good-paying, quality jobs.

We have so many committed community leaders, a new plan to make us even more competitive, and the resources and talent needed to chart a new course for our future. From the brilliantly executed “Orlando. You don’t know the half of it.” branding campaign to the strong combined forces of our partners and investors who continue to tell our compelling story, we are making the world aware of all Orlando has to offer.

A Message from Our Public Partners MAYOR TERESA JACOBS, Orange County (2010–2018) “As our Central Florida region continues to thrive and grow, Orange County remains focused on diversifying our economy and nurturing our extraordinary quality of life. Thanks to Orange County’s strong fiscal policies and financial management practices, over the next five to 10 years, we will be investing an additional $300 million into recreational, transportation infrastructure and public safety projects – all without raising taxes. From creating a climate in which entrepreneurs can thrive, to supporting our exploding digital arts and high tech sectors, our region is poised for longterm sustainability and economic health.”

MAYOR BUDDY DYER, City of Orlando (2003–2019)

“When thinking of the attributes desired by today’s workforce, Orlando is second to none; although one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., Orlando remains a diverse and welcoming city united by a strong sense of community. Add in great neighborhoods, unlimited options for sports and entertainment and world-class arts and cultural amenities, Orlando can compete with virtually any city in the world for recruiting and retaining top talent.”

CHAIRMAN JOHN HORAN, Seminole County (2015–2016)

“Seminole County and the Orlando EDC consistently work together to make it easy for businesses to locate or expand operations in our region. In the last five years, Seminole County has welcomed 4,300 new jobs as part of 33 new or expanding businesses with a capital investment of almost $250,000,000.

With our open for business climate, Seminole County and the Orlando EDC attract corporate headquarters and significant business operations from around the world.”

CHAIRMAN SEAN PARKS, Lake County (2015–2017) “Lake County is ‘Real Florida, Real Close.’ We have it all – beautiful lakes, hills and forests. We are an international destination for sports tourism. Champions from all sports call us home. Visitors come from around the world to enjoy our nature based recreational opportunities.

We remain focused on small business development and clean manufacturing. Our success is closely tied to Orlando and the EDC. Partnering with the Orlando EDC bolsters our brand, helps us improve workforce development, and presents opportunities to internationally market our long-term plans for prosperity in the Wellness Way District, the Wolf Branch Innovation District and the 470 Commerce Park regions of our County.”

CHAIRWOMAN VIVIANA JANER, Osceola County (2015–2016) “Osceola County continues to make significant investments in infrastructure that more closely connect the region to us and increases our momentum in the technology sector that is transforming the economy. Our “sensor project” has gone international through our partnerships with imec, PhotonDelta and others.

At the same time our education system is preparing our future workforce by creating innovative programs focused on science, technology, engineering and math.”

A Milestone Merger It is projected that Florida’s population will increase by six million residents by 2030 creating a need for two million more jobs. In order to advance our region’s top priorities, the Orlando EDC and the Central Florida Partnership (CFP) have agreed to combine forces by merging the two organizations in 2017.

The merger’s vision is to create a more effective entity with top priorities that include: • • • • •

Creating high-wage jobs in targeted industries, Expanding Central Florida’s global reach and competitiveness, Supporting and enhancing educational/skills preparedness in the labor pool, Strengthening advocacy for improved infrastructure and community resources, and Creating an enviable quality of life that is broad-based and sustainable – a key attribute and competitive differentiator in the quest to attract and retain jobs and talent.

“The new organization will better anticipate the business complexities and cultural trends reshaping both our local competitive environment and the global landscape.”

ROBERT UTSEY Vice Chair, Orlando EDC

“Combining the two organizations will better align the priorities of Central Florida, amplify the successful impacts of the predecessor organizations and rally our stakeholders with a common purpose: the long-term prosperity of our community.”

KEN POTROCK Secretary/Treasurer, Orlando EDC

Key Regional Business Initiatives The EDC focused its time, energy and resources in three key jobs initiatives designed to improve the region’s long-term competitive position and economic growth potential. These initiatives, supported by community leaders, have been determined to be of great significance to the future economic well-being of the region.

3

1: The International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research (ICAMR) – the future in smart sensor technology – being built in Osceola County will bring thousands of high wage jobs to the region.

2: Orlando’s standing as the modeling, simulation and training capital of the world is on sound footing with the approval of legislative support for our defense-related retention and growth.

3: The University of Central Florida downtown campus, in partnership with Valencia College, will be a reality following financial support from local private donations and state funding. The campus will provide students with access to higher education while investing in the future of the downtown core.

7

Successes The Orlando EDC Business Development team completed its strongest year ever in the organization’s 39-year history during 2015-16 fiscal year with a record number of projected new jobs by new and expanding companies in the region.

Collaboration

“The Orlando EDC’s RED Team is the perfect forum for our public sector members and our economic development allies to collaborate on attaining our regional goals. It’s the perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.”

BILL MARTIN Chair, RED Team

Regional Economic Developers Team The Regional Economic Developers (RED) Team enhances stakeholder collaboration, improves operational performance and strengthens the region’s economic development delivery system. The RED Team functions as an advisory committee and includes economic development professionals from member jurisdictions, higher education institutions, utility companies, CareerSource Central Florida and other EDC partners.

National Entrepreneur Center From free business coaching and seminars to an onsite business lab with access to resources, the National Entrepreneur Center (NEC) brings a comprehensive approach to small business development.

Enterprise Florida The Orlando EDC is proud to partner with Enterprise Florida on a unified approach to promote the state’s business advantages. Through Team Florida, the EDC supports the ongoing marketing campaign, “Florida. The future is here.” and ensures continuity in messaging and promotions. Launched in 2016, the campaign complements the Orlando business brand and utilizes shared images and content.

16

Economic Insight An understanding of Orlando’s competitive position is fundamental to the EDC’s ability to achieve and sustain success in business attraction.

The EDC’s Orlando Economic Forum, a group of local industry leaders, evaluates current economic conditions and issues of regional economic significance in the Orlando MSA and then publishes their analysis.

“The Orlando Economic Forum develops its own analytical framework to better guide local dialogue and identify opportunities. The forum is constantly scanning the economic landscape and seeking opportunities to propel Orlando forward on all fronts that contribute to growth and prosperity.”

SEAN SNAITH, PH.D. Chair, Orlando Economic Forum

17

Building the Brand Businesses around the region rallied around the “Orlando. You don’t know the half of it.” brand by lending financial and in-kind support. More than 90 organizations – public and private partners – champion the campaign by offering their resources, displaying ads in their venues and spreading the message through their communications channels. Additionally, the campaign aims to increase resident awareness of the region’s assets. A key part of building Orlando’s business brand is informing residents who can add perspective to the region’s ‘other half.’

Fueling Results Now in its second year, the Orlando business branding campaign, “Orlando. You don’t know the half of it.” is seeing results and resonating with target audiences of c-suite executives and site location consultants as evidenced by the increase in business development client activity.

“The business branding campaign is performing exceptionally well. From the onset, the goal was to get Orlando on the short list for possible company locations and expansions more often. We’ve seen exactly that as more companies have taken a serious look at Orlando.”
