ORLANDO, Fla. - Engineering & Computer Simulation, Inc. (ECS), the Orlando-based firm that develops simulation technology for corporate, academic and military training programs, was recently named to Inc. magazine’s list of “Top 500” fastest growing U.S. companies.
ECS, which reported $11.6 million in revenues last year, has deep roots in Central Florida and is an active participant in the Edward Lowe Foundation’s economic gardening initiative – the CEO Nexus/PeerSpectives™ program, according to Steve Quello, president of CEO Nexus.
A public-private initiative affiliated with the University of Central Florida Department of Research and Commercialization, CEO Nexus brings together local second-stage business leaders in a forum with successful mentoring CEOs of companies in the region.
“ECS’s achievement as one of this year’s Inc fastest growing is a genuine testimonial to economic gardening’s benefits, especially accelerating business growth cycles,” said Dr. Tom O’Neal, associate vice president of the UCF Department of Research and Commercialization.
ECS, located at The Quadrangle on University Blvd. and Alafaya Trail near the UCF Campus, is part of the simulation cluster that the UCF Business Incubation Program and CEO Nexus are helping to cultivate, Quello said.
