The promotion of high technology in Florida industry wasaccomplished by the Council through the joint efforts of the Dept. of Education and public and private postsecondary/vocational educational institutions, the Executive Office of the Governor, the Dept. of Commerce, other executive agencies, and leaders in high technology business and industry. The High Tech Council hostedconferences focusing on high tech issues; assembled networks of leading business-people, scientists and academics to pursue such issues; published reports and working papers on relevant topics; and implemented the statewide program of Centers of Electronic Emphasis and Electronic Specialization.

The Council was abolished and its functions transfered to the Dept. of Commerce and a not for profit entity of the new Enterprise Florida Innovation Partnership (Ch. 93-187).
