The Harris Institute for Assured Information is an interdisciplinary center that focuses on high-risk disruptive work aimed at helping us trust the information that we so often rely on. Founded in 2009 by a grant from Harris Corporation, the Harris Institute brings together computer science, psychology, business and biology to carry out cutting-edge research in computer security. Our goal is lofty: to change the way we think about the information that flows around us, and to help drive a fundamental shift in how we protect it.</p><h2> Regional and local economic development efforts<br /> </h2><p>Currently Florida Tech is working on forming more regional and local economic development efforts, but the main one currently in place is the Women's Business Center(<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a>"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a>"><a href="http://wbc.fit.edu/">http://wbc.fit.edu/</a></a></a></a></a></a></a>).
