Google Names Sarasota Digital eCity
Google recognized Sarasota this year as Florida's 2014 eCity "Digital Capital of America." Sarasota city officials announced they would host a ceremony with the Sarasota business community on Friday. Mayor Willie Shaw and City Manager Tom Barwin will congratulate the business community with a brief ceremony Friday, October 17 at 10 a.m. at The HuB, 1680 Fruitville Road, third floor. This award acknowledges Sarasota as having the strongest combined e-commerce, social media and web presence within the state of Florida, city officials said. "Being recognized by Google as Florida's 2014 eCity means we have the most robust e-business community in the State as determined by Google and research," said Barwin. "What a great foundation to build upon. With three universities, a vibrant downtown business center and digital business incubators, a San Francisco-like spirit of innovation and creativity is clearly in this community's business, academic and social DNA. Google algorithms have proven what many of us have suspected. Sarasota is open for digital, high tech oriented folks who enjoy cultural amenities and the world's greatest sunsets." Business leaders said the honor sets the community apart for future recruitment of high-tech companies and opportunities for tech-based startups to thrive. "This recognition affirms both the resolve of local businesses to be globally competitive and the strength of our local tech savvy workforce," said Mark Huey, President and CEO of EDC of Sarasota County.
