Orlando Economic Partnership

About Us Launch to Tomorrow: Advancing Broad-based Prosperity in the Region In the summer of 2018, the Orlando Economic Partnership (the Partnership) led a collective effort, engaging leadership, staff and stakeholders in the development of a strategic framework for the region’s future. The result was Launch to Tomorrow, an ambitious three-year plan to re-cast economic development to advance broad-based prosperity for the region. We define broad-based prosperity as a region whose residents live a meaningful life in a place where equal access to resources and pathways to success allows opportunities for all. Our goal is to create a region bound only by our imaginations. Fueling Orlando’s Opportunity Economy by Conquering Shared Challenges The Orlando region comprises 95 cities and towns in seven counties, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities. The Partnership works toward finding regional solutions that address our shared current and emerging challenges. Preparing for our growing and diversifying population Changing perceptions to align with our diverse economy Keeping pace with technological advances Readying, recruiting and retaining a talented workforce Enabling improved mobility and connectivity Ensuring that opportunities are available to all through broad-based prosperity Who We Are The Orlando Economic Partnership is a public-private, not-for-profit economic and community development organization. The Partnership represents seven counties in Central Florida, including the City of Orlando, and hundreds of the region’s top private businesses. What We Do Through the power of our partnerships, we strengthen our regional assets and businesses, advocate for regional priorities and write the next chapter of Orlando’s story. We are injecting fresh resources and perspectives while harnessing the strength of the region’s culture of collaboration and innovation to create a new future for our diverse and growing population.
