Welcome to Citrus Information Technology Alliance
Our purpose in hosting our monthly meetings is to educate, inform, and entertain our members and guests. We do this by exploring topics of current interest, providing a congenial atmosphere for networking, and to encourage participants to share information that has been gained in their areas of expertise.
This is a great networking opportunity in a casual atmosphere and the opportunity to learn more ways of using technology in your business.

Business Incubator
CITA, along with the county’s Economic Development Council and Chamber of Commerce is partnering with county government and the cities of Crystal River and Inverness in developing a vibrant business incubator here in Citrus County. Grants are being applied for, private funds are being sought but input from small business owners and entrepreneurs are needed in order to make this business venture successful.
But what exactly is a business incubator? A business incubator is a program designed to accelerate the successful development of start-up and early-stage companies through an array of business support resources and services developed and orchestrated by incubator management. Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a start-up company will stay in business for the long term. Historically, 87% of incubator graduates stay in business.
So if you are planning, developing or dreaming of starting up a new business please contact a CITA representative below to discuss what your plans are and how they can fit into the business incubator plans.
Citrus County Florida is a wonderful place live, raise a family and build a successful business. Tell everyone - Citrus County is Open for Business!
