Why Texas?

Texas is where liberty lives. That’s why the Lone Star State has dominated the nation in population growth over the last two decades and continues to be a top state for job creation. As the eighth-largest economy among the nations of the world, Texas offers a combination of unique competitive business advantages that no other state can claim: a business-friendly climate—with no corporate or personal income tax—along with a highly skilled and diverse workforce, easy access to global markets, robust infrastructure and a reasonable regulatory environment.

Those are just some of the advantages that helped Texas win the Governor’s Cup for the most new and expanded corporate facility projects in the nation—for an unprecedented 13th year in a row. That’s also why Texas continually ranks as the Best State for Business by the nation's top CEOs. “Made in Texas” is a powerful global brand and by unleashing the power of entrepreneurs and innovators, and securing the freedom to aspire, Texas will long remain the best state for businesses large and small.
