I-Tech chooses GoCo House and becomes a part of the growing innovation cluster in GoCo Health Innovation City

I-Tech is the company behind Selektope, a biocide for use in marine coating system protecting the ship hulls from barnacles. The active substance is the result of several years of research where I-Tech have created a unique mode of action repelling barnacles from surfaces. From the turn of the year, the company will move into GoCo House where they see great opportunities to continue the company's journey and in the long run, also find new solutions to biologically driven industrial problems.
