While the region prides itself on low key, easygoing, friendliness and quality of life, thatâ€™s complemented by the strength of solid, local businesses such as Lighting Sciences Group headquartered in Satellite Beach. The Lighting Sciences Group is a leader in LED lighting and has experienced explosive growth recently, tripling their production capacity just from April to November of 2010, while bringing remarkable new technology with environmental consciousness to the market.

Satcom Direct, headquartered in Indian Harbour Beach, is a world leader in satellite communications and along with expanding their services, is now undergoing a huge expansion of its facilities and staff. Currently, Satcom Direct provides satellite communication solutions for 90% of all business aviation worldwide.

The largest surf shop in the world, Ron Jon Surf Shop, is headquartered in Cocoa Beach, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The four-level store and complex covers more than two acres, and is filled with an amazing selection of lifestyle apparel and board sports equipment.

Over the last decade, the diversification of the area's solid economic base has been a departure from the past.

As the program is now set to wrap up, with the final two launches in 2011, the facilities are being converted and renamed to "Exploration Park" and will become a commercial launch complex. Today the Space Coast region in addition to maintaining the aerospace sector, now includes aviation, high tech renewable energy, emerging technologies, electronics, homeland security, national defense, satellite and advanced communications, high tech, health, life sciences and biotech industries that have all developed, matured and are thriving throughout the area.

Brevard County and the Space Coast region have now solidly established themselves as a force to be admired as part of the Central Florida High-Tech Corridor. Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, and Suntree currently boast a plethora of medical services, providers and facilities, with cutting edge technologies, campuses, and hospitals world-renowned for their expertise. Along with our neighbors at Lake Nona, we're poised to become the nation's next research and technology center including the new "Medical City," a health, life sciences, bio-tech, pharmaceutical and research, education & treatment mecca.
