Information Technologies
Since the birth of the IBM personal computer in Boca Raton, Florida has remained at the cutting edge of innovation in information technology. With more than 24,000 companies employing nearly 254,000 people, the state has reached a critical mass and remains highly competitive in this area.
Florida is home to more than 24,000 Information Technology businesses that employ more than a quarter-of-a-million people. The Southwest Florida region has more than its share.
In our five-county region, the talents of multiple organizations are building on each other’s unique areas of excellence to develop world-class expertise in several leading fields, including:
• Modeling, Simulation & Training
• Photonics and Optics
• Digital Media
• Software & Computer Systems Design & Integration
• Computer Products, Microelectronic and Precision Device Manufacturing
• Telecommunications
Organizations innovating in these areas can be found throughout Southwest Florida, as can a growing number of well-trained workers from both in and outside the region.
And as far as the available workforce is concerned, it should be noted that there are many highly skilled workers in fields such as computer management – working in a doctor’s office or ad agency – who could be resources for a variety of high-tech businesses.
