In 2011 the Chamber continued the implementation of the Technology Partnership, created in
late 2010 by the Chamber board of directors to provide outreach to the regional technology
community. The technology sector includes over 3,900 companies within a five-region area
surrounding Austin. In fact, tech companies account for 12% of the region’s total workforce
and 25% of the area payroll. Because such a significant percentage of our workforce is engaged
in technology, the business retention and expansion work of the Chamber is now aligned
under the Technology Partnership.
Last year, the Technology Partnership engaged over 100 regional tech executives to provide
input and direction to the strategies related to not only business attraction and retention but
also company formation. Seven technology special interest groups (SIGs) focused the initiative
in the following industry segments: Technology Manufacturing, Clean Technology, Life
Science/Healthcare, Mobile, Gaming, Advertising Technology, and Software.
Throughout 2011, Austin saw its regional venture capital investments increase by 13% to over
$1.1 billion. With 6,000 new technology jobs created, the region experienced the largest year
over year increase in the past decade.
Of note in 2011 was the launch of the Startup Austin
Texas web portal of the Startup America Partnership.
Austin was the first region in Texas to participate
in this national web initiative. And to increase the
visibility of regional technology startups seeking
funding, the Chamber also created the Austin A-List,
THE AUSTIN A - LIST an easy go-to source for tech startup investors.
