Origins of the Austin Tech Cluster Sample Clauses

Origins of the Austin Tech Cluster. Much like other cities in Texas, Austin was known for its support of the oil and gas industry throughout much of the 20th century. Starting in the late 1950s, however, city officials began envisioning a new future, involving new pathways to achieve strong economic growth. Specifically, the Austin Area Economic Development Foundation created a “blueprint of the future,” in 1957 to better define a clear economic structure for the city.96 This plan laid out a vision for the city to make new technology development the foundation of its economic future. With the university and government sectors of the Technopolis Wheel acting as the primary support for Austin’s economy throughout its history, the city had a strong foundation to attract new technology companies. The arrival of IBM in 1963 marked a period of transformation for Austin’s tech cluster. Texas Instruments followed in 1967, and Motorola moved in 1974.97 With these large companies in place, Austin now had three key sectors of the Technopolis Wheel fulfilled: government support, the university system, and large companies. 95 ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Has Attracted the Likes of Oracle, Palantir, and SpaceX, among Others.
