Four GTEC Companies Expanding
Over the last two months, four companies at Santa Fe College's Business Incubator, GTEC, have requested additional space. The companies, Dasfanh Biosciences, Fortitude Security, MGC Solutions, and MakoLabs have all needed more space to accommodate new employees or expand operations. Bill Dorman, Director of the Gainesville Technology and Entrepreneurship Center (GTEC), says "These four companies reflect the diverse community of entrepreneurship growing at GTEC." Two of the companies, Fortitude Security and MGC Solutions, are service focused, while Dasfanh Biosciences and MakoLabs are technology companies. You can read more about these companies, and the other companies incubating at GTEC on our website at sfcollege.edu/incubators.
