About the Downtown Technology Center (DTC)
The DTC is located in the heart of Downtown Gainesville, bordering the Hippodrome Theatre and Union Street Station, all less than one mile from the University of Florida campus. This burgeoning entrepreneurial center draws from the surrounding creative culture and is becoming the area's most popular flexible office space facility for small and growing technology companies.

DTC is designed to bring together seed stage medical technology and high-tech companies focused on technology commercialization and the rapid attainment of profitable operations. Our tenant companies benefit from networking among the investors, inventors and emerging companies located in the center. DTC tenants frequently choose to interact and leverage each other's expertise and networks to uncover new opportunities and build new relationships.

DTC was created in 2004 as an affiliate of Synogen to meet the rapidly growing needs of Synogen portfolio companies and other University of Florida start-ups.
