Fairfax County, Virginia USA, Friday, October 23, 2009 -

The  Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA, www.FairfaxCountyEDA.org) provided services and resources in the third quarter to 25 businesses that will create 2,022  jobs in Fairfax County. These companies include Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), which announced in September that it relocated its corporate headquarters to Fairfax County from San Diego and will create 1,200 jobs in the next three years.

Like SAIC, many of the other firms that worked with the FCEDA are American and foreign-owned firms in the information technology and professional services sectors. They include:

“We are proud to have worked with SAIC to relocate its headquarters operation to Fairfax County, but we also are proud to have worked in the quarter with 25 companies that are creating jobs here,” said Gerald L. Gordon, Ph.D., president and CEO of the FCEDA. “This underscores the strength of the economy in Fairfax County compared to virtually every other area of the country,”

“As a leading provider of business intelligence and systems engineering solutions to the federal government, Guident selected Fairfax County due to its proximity to our customer base and the talent pool available in this area,” said Teddy Matheu, Guident executive vice president and partner. “We have realized tremendous growth, generating revenues of $34 million in 2008 and achieving a 30 percent yearly growth rate, which is a direct result of our success within this marketplace.”
