 (Friday, October 26, 2007) – Foxfire Scientific, Inc. of College Station is among the firms selected for the 3rd annual “Aggie 100” list of the fastest-growing companies owned and operated by Texas A&M University (TAMU) former students.

ABOUT THE AGGIE 100.

 The Aggie 100 program, one-of-a-kind at the college level, was created by Mays Business School’s Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, whose mission is to provide encouragement, education, networking and assistance to entrepreneurially minded students, faculty and Texas businesses. Aggie 100 is a unique way for Texas A&M University to demonstrate its pride in the accomplishments of its former students while enriching the educational experience for today’s students.

While there are many ways to define business success, the Aggie 100 focuses on growth as an indicator of job creation, product acceptance, and entrepreneurial vision. The Aggie 100 program identifies, recognizes and celebrates the 100 fastest growing Aggie-owned or Aggie-led businesses in the world.

”Texas A&M is proud of making the Aggie 100 an annual event to celebrate Aggies who have gone on to create businesses that are thriving not only in the U.S., but also around the world,” says Richard Scruggs, executive director of the Mays Business School’s Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship.
