LIVE EVENT
The anchor of Austin's technology economy, with strong enterprise software and semiconductor output.
The University of Texas at Austin sits at the centre of one of the fastest-growing technology markets in the United States. Austin's transformation into a major technology hub has been driven substantially by the university's engineering and computer science output.
Texas offers no state income tax and materially lower operating costs than California, which has drawn both companies and capital.
The Austin Technology Incubator, one of the longest-running university incubators in the country, has operated since 1989. Texas Venture Labs connects student teams with real companies raising capital.
Austin's ecosystem has matured considerably as major technology employers established significant campuses in the city.
Michael Dell founded Dell Technologies from a UT Austin dormitory. The university's ongoing output is concentrated in enterprise software, semiconductors, energy technology, and consumer products, with a large and locally engaged alumni base.
Austin's investor community includes LiveOak Venture Partners, Next Coast Ventures, and Silverton Partners, alongside a growing presence from Bay Area funds establishing Texas operations.
