Huntsville, Ala. Headquartered Geeks and Nerds (GaN) Corp. Opens Orlando Office, Now Operates in Five States
Orlando, Fla. – Geeks and Nerds (GaN) Corporation, an award-winning company providing rapid innovative product development, robust systems engineering, effective and efficient test and evaluation, and thorough cybersecurity support for government and industry clients, has established an Orlando office at the University of Central Florida Business Incubator in the Central Florida Research Park.
GaN recently joined the incubation program’s Soft Landing program, which provides flexible office space, business contacts, and other services for a limited time to companies from out of state or the country who want to establish operations in the area to expand their business.
Dr. Jonn Kim, president and CEO of GaN Corporation, said one major factor that influenced the decision to expand into Orlando through the Soft Landing program was the extensive modeling and simulation industry anchored in Central Florida. The second contributing factor is the role of UCF in the modeling and simulation and cybersecurity industries, and the associated and growing talent pool in Central Florida.
“It was natural for us to seek this location and the incubator for support to spearhead our expansion into the Orlando market,” Kim said. “We have existing partnerships in the area and long-term customers who we want to provide with onsite support as well.”
The Huntsville, Alabama-based company is now operating in five states, including Texas, Arizona, and Colorado. GaN has been ranked as one of the “Top 100 Companies in the U.S.” by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for the last four years.
