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.
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.
What We Believe
The Partnership is altering the perceptions of a region best known for tourism by reconceptualizing its economic future. We are leading the creation of a new model for economic and community development that challenges the status-quo and establishes a new path toward broad-based prosperity.
