Information Technology

The Lone Star State’s strong, well-established information technology (IT) sector, has given the state a reputation as a tech titan. Innovation in the state’s tech sector has produced everything from the integrated circuit to the handheld calculator. New technologies developed in Texas allow the state to compete in the global IT arena, attracting companies and talent from around the world.

As a testament to the state’s synergies with leaders in technology and innovation, the U.S. Army selected Texas as home for its Army Futures Command headquarters, which focuses on science and technology development for the U.S. Army. Our expertise in IT has fueled targeted efforts of diversified investment in advanced tech manufacturing and related sectors.

Texas’ continued strength in IT and tech is due in large part to the growing pipeline of patents and venture capital funding. For 14 years, Texas has ranked among the top two states for number of technology-related patent assignees. Thanks to world-class universities and academic institutions, which invest heavily in R&D, Texas will continue to lead the future of technology and innovation.
