Orlando is a global hub for the modeling, simulation & training industry.

"Orlando’s MS&T industry was launched in the mid-1960s when the Naval Training Systems Center chose to locate to the region from Long Island, NY. Since then, the region’s MS&T cluster has evolved from its roots in essential military training to creating innovations that permeate every industry. From aviation and entertainment to medical technologies and transportation, each business sector has been touched by simulated technologies.

These deep roots in the MS&T industry was the impetus for the formation of the National Center for Simulation, as well as the creation of the Central Florida Research Park, which is one of the world’s top 10 research parks and comprises more than 100 high tech companies. The close proximity of the University of Central Florida has formed the backbone of Orlando’s MS&T education, offering graduate studies in the field as well as establishing the Institute for Simulation and Training (IST)."

I once worked there--in the mid and late 1970s.
