Our EDC investors are the backbone of our organization. They provide the resources needed to carry out the mission of this organization.

The Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC) is a not-for-profit, public/private partnership leading the economic development efforts of Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties and the City of Orlando. The mission of the EDC is to build a diverse economy capable of withstanding dramatic shifts in the global marketplace and to position Metro Orlando as the world's premier business location.

Since 1977, EDC efforts have directly resulted in more than $8.8 billion in capital investment; over 158,000 jobs created; 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. The EDC is proud to have been recognized as one of the top development groups in the world.

Our region is currently ranked as:

one of the nation’s fastest-growing U.S. employment and population markets;
one of the top five office markets in the country;
a leader in Florida in terms of film, television, commercial and digital media production;
one of the fastest-growing high tech centers in the world;
and, the strongest regional economy in Florida.

Metro Orlando's economic development initiatives are supported by hundreds of private companies committed to the long-term prosperity of the region. Investment in the EDC reflects a commitment to creating an environment where business and industry can thrive.
