TEXAS INNOVATES VISION: THE LARGEST CARBON & H2 INCUBATOR ECOSYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES

At Texas Innovates, we will foster a culture of community and collaboration that helps a decarbonization and hydrogen ecosystem of startups grow. We seek to work with companies from early-stage labs, beginning prototyping through Series A venture rounds (Typically TRL 3-7).

At Texas Innovates, we provide members with a curated suite of resources and tools through our robust Partner Network.  We are currently a virtual program, with access to corporate partners with a physical presence and laboratories in the region.

In the medium term, we see ourselves as part of the integrated downtown Ion Innovation District as they build out their energy infrastructure.

Part of our long-term vision is to help work with partners to develop a downtown LEED Platinum Campus including a power exporting microgrid, water reuse, integrated flood management green spaces and urban agriculture.  We believe in a design that promotes green mobility, especially biking, and growing Houston’s connected green spaces. In case of future extreme weather events, the resilient Campus will serve as a city emergency center. Future laboratories, agricultural space, offices, commercial and retail space, and short and long-term residential should attract a cross-section of diverse disciplines and users.
