The Texas Tech HUB Connection

Texas is a major U.S. hub for defense and semiconductor (chip) manufacturing, driven by federal CHIPS Act funding and a robust state initiative (Texas CHIPS Act), attracting giants like Samsung and Texas Instruments (TI) for advanced production, particularly benefiting defense, aerospace, and automotive sectors, with significant investments in new fabs and workforce development.

This boom focuses on domestic supply chain resilience, supporting critical national security needs by manufacturing chips for defense systems, alongside automotive and consumer tech. Texas manufacturers are investing billions to expand existing facilities, focusing on advanced FD-SOI tech crucial for defense/aerospace, with DoD collaboration.

Other innovations such as datacenter development, biotechnology research, bitcoin mining, cybersecurity, robotics and AI are building ecosystems in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, Brownsville and Houston.
