Coming in July, OrlandoJobs.com, Insight Magazine and the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce will partner to showcase employers in the Innovation Way Corridor. This area is a cluster for high-tech, and soon bio-tech, companies whose employees enjoy a close relationship with the University of Central Florida, easy proximity to Orlando International Airport, and the most family-friendly atmosphere in which to live.
This industry is centered in Innovation Way. Our Employment Showcase will highlight the companies that are currently in East/Southeast Orlando and showcase what they do, as well as what jobs they have now and anticipate for the future. In addition, we'll be profiling the companies with plans to move or open in this area in the coming months.
From the Waterford Lakes area to East Orlando, Avalon Park, Moss Park and Lake Nona, this area is burgeoning on both the business development front, as well as seeing a continuation of residential influx. Lake Nona is being called "The Medical City" for the number of bio-tech firms, research facilities and hospitals choosing to locate here. However, this showcase is not just for high-tech companies; every kind of business located in the Innovation Way Corridor is important to its development and success.
"We will see thousands of high paying jobs created by organizations and companies locating and expanding in Innovation Way and the Medical City, and along with those jobs will come the need for support jobs such as retail, housing, construction and others," says Carol Ann Dykes of UCF's Technology Incubator.
We are excited about the opportunity to preview Innovation Way and the the companies that already reside in this area! Here is some additional information about Central Florida’s number one job growth area.
