The 2015 High Tech Road Show is now complete.
Here is a description of the HTRS 2015 visit to Dallas / Fort Worth, TX. Please check back in September for information about the HTRS 2016.
Dallas / Fort Worth: January 16
In the past decade, the population of Dallas / Fort Worth (DFW) has grown to become the nation’s fourth-largest metropolitan area, behind only New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The current population of 6.5 million persons has more than doubled in the past three decades.
DFW is the fifth-largest global exporter in the country, with computer and electronics goods accounting for over 16 percent of the area’s exports. The economy is well-diversified with a pro-business culture that continues to spur growth.
DFW’s central location and world-class transportation infrastructure attract companies looking to do business locally, nationally, and globally. DFW International Airport, for example, is home to American Airlines and offers non-stop flights to major U.S. cities. The airport also features direct routes to multiple points in Europe, Australia, South America, Asia, and the Middle East, including non-stop flights to Dubai (Emirates Airline), Doha (Qatar Airways) and, very soon, Abu Dhabi (Etihad Airways).
As a transportation hub, the Dallas / Fort Worth area boasts major headquarters, logistics, distribution, and supply chain operations. DFW is one of the top regions in the nation for business, thanks to its business-friendly environment and low cost of living.
DFW generates more manufacturing activity than any other metropolitan area in Texas, according to the Governor’s Economic Development Office, and manufacturing constitutes nearly ten percent of the regional economy. Representative goods manufactured in the area range from boots and clothing to bricks, steel, plastics, and aerospace components. Among the major manufacturing operations in the DFW area are General Motors (assembly plant in Arlington), Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, and Texas Instruments in Dallas.
Dallas is home to 18 Fortune 500 companies and 12 of the top private companies listed by Forbes. Nearly 40 firms among the Fortune 1000 companies call the region home.
