Member Highlight

Innovate Texas Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan organization, was created to address the 2008 Texas Governor’s Competitiveness Council’s recommendation for a “statewide foundation” to coordinate and connect clusters of innovation across Texas. 

Innovate Texas Foundation connects Texas’ wealth of intellectual capital with financial capital to create an abundant economic opportunity, new jobs and stronger universities.   By connecting the abundant resources and assets in Texas with the entrepreneurial, industrial and financial resources of the global economy, Innovate Texas Foundation helps to build Texas as the world’s premier destination for economic expansion and innovation. 

Texas is recognized as having the best business climate in the U.S.  In order to enhance business and economic expansion opportunities in Texas, Innovate Texas Foundation coordinates activities to facilitate transactions and to create efficiencies by connecting communities within the innovation economy.   The Foundation fosters and mentors opportunities by working with mature, emerging and start-up companies, consortia, universities, economic development organizations, government, inventors, capital markets, investors and entrepreneurs.  Innovate Texas maintains numerous committees with deep insight into virtually all technology and financial sectors.  In addition, the Foundation maintains government committees which include lawmakers and government leaders and maintains academic institution committees with senior representatives from all major Texas university systems.
