This referendum will appear on the January 31, 2012 Presidential Preference Primary Election ballot.  All registered voters in Orange County are eligible to vote on this nonpartisan issue.  If approved, the program will authorize the County to grant qualifying businesses a temporary County property tax exemption of up to 100% on new capital improvement and/or equipment purchases for up to 10 years. This incentive will have no impact on what the company is currently paying in County taxes on existing land, buildings, infrastructure and equipment.  Targeted industries include biomedical and life sciences, aviation and aerospace, homeland security and defense, logistics, financial and professional services, Cleantech, Infotech, and other emerging business sectors. Other industries may qualify if located in designated economic development areas.

What is the i2 Capital Acceleration Program?

The i2 Accelerator is a program of the Technological Research and Development Authority (TRDA) with support from Space Florida.

It consists of three months of intense mentoring that kicks off with a two-day boot camp, and cumulates with day of presentations to a panel of investors that will provide honest feedback on your business.  The i2 Mentor Network is a statewide network of "been there, done that" technology entrepreneurs that have founded and raised capital for their own companies.  Our mentors have collectively raised over $300 million for their own companies, and will work with you to prepare your company (team, financial statements, business plan, sales/marketing strategy and much more) for the capital raising process.  The i2 team has a network of angels, venture capitalists and pre-seed funding resources within our i2 Ventures Network to accelerate the connection of great companies to Florida's investment community.
