FedEx Corp. founder Frederick W. Smith’s legacy touches nearly every aspect of Memphis civic and economic life, including the city’s latest economic development effort: the “Digital Delta.”
The initiative, which he and his son Richard Smith helped spearhead in 2021, has gained momentum recently with several advanced manufacturing and high-tech companies launching local operations.
Officials point to Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer and its continued expansion; the $50 million expansion of South Korea-based manufacturer Hyosung Hico, and Google’s plans to build a $10 billion data center development in West Memphis.
“The impact of (Fred Smith’s) leadership extends far beyond FedEx, touching every corner of our business community and setting the foundation for Memphis' continued economic growth, including coining the term ‘Digital Delta,’” said Ted Townsend, Greater Memphis Chamber president and CEO.
Townsend described the Digital Delta as a framework for globally recognizing Memphis as a hub for high-tech manufacturing, artificial intelligence and advanced industries.
“We’ve been successful in branding and marketing that and getting national and international recognition, which has now created an echo chamber,” Townsend said. “People are calling it back to us now.”
