The City of Orlando has been funding the Orlando Technology Community Support Program via the Orlando Economic Partnership (Website) since 2018.
The program provides matching grants in the amount of $5,000-$10,000 to help develop tech-focused events that combine community and the local “tech workforce” in the Orlando region, with a total of $65,000 up for grabs.
Qualifying pitches must include the four key goals of the initiative:
- Building the tech talent pipeline
- Catalyzing private capital investments
- Increasing connection and collaboration among start-up and existing tech companies
- Increasing Orlando’s reputation as a tech hub
Applications for the 2021-2022 fiscal year are expected to open in November 2021, with awards being recommended in February 2022.
