Texas is a leading global player in the aviation, transportation, and automotive space. As home to the headquarters of two international airlines and two of the world’s busiest airports, the state is a key location for the largest global aviation companies. Thanks to a highly trained and specialized workforce, Texas is a leader in aerospace manufacturing, is tied for 5th nationally in automotive manufacturing establishments, and continues to be selected for major relocation and expansion projects.

Besides a skilled workforce, Texas colleges and universities are investing more than $5 billion a year in R&D expenditures, committed to discovering what’s over the next horizon. Oh, and Texas has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country with no corporate income tax and no individual income tax. That’s the truth, y’all.
