Growing Orlando’s high-tech sector is critical for the city’s long-term future, Mayor Buddy Dyer told Central Florida News 13<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

Here’s an excerpt from the story:<\/p>\n

To do that, he said investing in Orlando’s amenities and infrastructure is key, including things like SunRail, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, and a new stadium for the Orlando City Soccer Club.<\/em><\/p>\n

Those are all part of the vision of attracting talent, yet the tech scene’s growth has also been less planned and more a product of the right people starting companies at the right time.<\/em><\/p>\n

“A lot of this has grown organically,” Dyer said. “It’s been nurtured by city government, but it hasn’t had the city government at the lead. It’s been more, we’re helping them.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Helping them, the mayor explained, by giving them space to thrive.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now one year old, Canvs is the city’s co-working space at the Church Street Exchange building. It’s the home of the\u00a0Orlando Tech Association, 3,000 members strong.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We now do truly have a sense of community, something that we didn’t necessarily have before,” said Orrett Davis, the Orlando Tech Association’s executive director.<\/em><\/p>\n

Building on Canvs’ success, Dyer now sets his sights on a new project: The billion-dollar Creative Village planned to transform the former site of the old Amway Arena into a 68-acre tech hub for business, transportation and education.<\/em><\/p>\n
