The vision: A University of Central Florida and Orlando airport partnership to develop a campus that would be a national model for the emerging digital-twin technology sector, UCF board of trustees chair Beverly Seay told airport officials last year.
“We are looking for drivers of business … people who uniquely need to be in our airport,” GOAA board Chairman Carson Good said during a State of the Airport presentation.
Potential focus areas the airport will consider include airline manufacturing and education, pharmaceutical, augmented/virtual reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomous systems, sensors, nanotechnology, internet of things, aerospace and digital-twin technology.
The development is designed to draw users that can attract related businesses as well as create high-wage jobs and be recession-, pandemic- or adverse-event resistant, per the April presentation.
