Osceola County, Florida – The Osceola County Board of County Commissioners has approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Concept Companies and Empyrean Medical Systems, Inc., a global medical device technology company, marking another significant step in developing NeoCity as a premier technological innovation district.
Under Monday’s MOU, Empyrean would consider leasing space at NeoCity in 2025, focusing on advanced engineering and precision parts fabrication for radiation oncology devices, medical imaging, and superconducting technologies for its particle accelerators. The strategic partnership could represent the first phase of a comprehensive plan to establish a 50,000- to 100,000-square foot facility by early 2028, which will consolidate Empyrean’s advanced superconducting and magnetics research and development, manufacturing, and administrative operations.
“The MOU with Empyrean’s exemplifies the type of innovative, technology-driven companies we are attracting to NeoCity,” said Viviana Janer, Chair of the Osceola County Commission. “By leveraging our semiconductor ecosystem and advanced technical infrastructure, we’re creating a magnet for cutting-edge technological enterprises that drive economic diversification and high-value job creation.”
The company would create at least 60 high-skilled positions with an average annual salary of $80,000 by 2033, further strengthening the region’s advanced technology workforce.
Empyrean was founded to fundamentally disrupt and replace current devices and technologies employed to treat cancer patients worldwide.
Kal Fishman, President and CEO of Empyrean, said, “NeoCity’s sophisticated technological ecosystem provides us with an unparalleled environment for innovation. NeoCity allows us to tap into a rich network of technological resources and talent. It uniquely enables our research and development work, precision fabrication, and manufacturing of our state-of-the-art products and components. We are proud to consider establishing our most advanced facility at NeoCity in our home state of Florida and create new high-skilled job opportunities in Osceola County in full collaboration with Magnetics Corporation, our strategic partner in this project.”
Magnetics Corporation (MagCorp) is a key connecting partner, bringing Empyrean and the County together to create continued progress towards a future that will generationally advance critical commercial technologies in energy and health.
Concept Companies is the real estate developer for the project and would complete the purpose-built facility for the company at NeoCity that could be sized between 50,000 and 100,000 square feet.
“Concept specializes in science, technology, and healthcare real estate development projects,” said Seth Lane, Executive Vice President of Real Estate for Concept Companies. “Working with Empyrean with the strong support of Osceola County and the NeoCity team will yield a tremendous project that is transformational for our community.”
With the MOU approval, the County, Concept and Empyrean have 120 days to finalize a comprehensive development agreement, continuing Osceola County’s strategic vision of creating a dynamic, technology-driven economic landscape.
The investment builds upon NeoCity’s growing momentum in technological development, including:
