What drives business in Gainesville.
The University of Florida and UF Health Shands Hospital are the dominant employers, and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center and HCA Florida North Florida Hospital add to a large healthcare sector. UF's Sid Martin Biotech incubator in Alachua has launched many life sciences companies, and the area hosts firms such as Axogen in nerve repair and Exactech in orthopedic implants. Student housing, construction and local services follow the university's large enrollment.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Gainesville management teams.
University spinouts must turn research into products, raise capital and recruit commercial talent to a smaller market. Healthcare and research employers compete for nurses, technicians and scientists, many of whom are tied to academic calendars and grant funding. Local service businesses depend heavily on students, so demand dips during summer and school breaks.
