Curated by the Austin Technology Council. Austin tech resources are abundant. Austin is a great example of a tech ecosystem built on community, collaboration, and conversations. If we keep operating in an inclusive manner, we will keep growing and continue to lead the world as one of the top tech hubs and innovation centers. But as we grow we must be careful to not let individual egos and agendas take the lead. Competition and a need for control is what undermines the success of an ecosystem.
Central Texas is one of the most innovative and fastest-growing tech hubs in the world. Whether you’re launching a startup, investing in the next big idea, or building community, this resource directory connects you to the people, programs, and platforms that make Austin thrive.
If your organization, event, or service isn’t listed (and you have an Austin Tech Resource that drives the community forward) — please let us know. We want this page to reflect the full strength of the Austin tech community.
