OUR TEAM

Texas Innovates was launched by a committed team of technology entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, architects, engineers and community members, partnered with technology incubators and energy technology solution providers throughout the United States.  We all have dedicated our careers to expanding opportunities for our communities and bring novel energy technology and projects to market.

Our future campus will be near downtown Houston, and will provide 100,000 sq. ft. of laboratory, prototyping and pilot space with over 70 individual secured labs in 3 dedicated connected buildings focused on different hardware needs.   Adjacent to the labs will be the residential and co-working towers, providing 300,000+ sq.ft of living, retail and working space.

OUR CHALLENGE

Houston, like many growing cities worldwide, is being challenged by a growing population, increased energy and municipal service needs, economic housing shortfalls, and environmental justice and socio-economic issues.   This has been heightened by the need to increase resiliency to global level problems like automation, the energy transition, and climate change driven weather, water, and energy problems. This has brought Houston to a cross-roads, where we can now redefine and prepare our city for the future or wait until it is too late to change.

Innovation, has always been a cornerstone of Houston; with NASA and the Texas Medical Center know worldwide as Centers of Excellence. Yet, while Houston has incredible expertise in individual companies, there has never been a Energy Center of Excellence that brings us together to identify innovative ways to produce and consume energy while minimizing our impact on the environment.
