The Florida High Tech Corridor Council's (FHTCC's) mission is to attract, retain and grow high tech industry and the workforce to support it within the 23-county Florida High Tech Corridor.

The FHTCC was established by the Legislature in 1996 to attract, retain and grow high tech industry and to help develop the workforce to support those industries in the 21-county service areas of the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the University of South Florida (USF). In January 2005, the Council welcomed the University of Florida (UF) as a full partner of this unique economic development initiative, merging the strengths of three world-class universities and bringing the number of Corridor counties to 23.
