University Mapping Project

Amazing discoveries are being made every year at Central Texas universities that in addition to growing the research prowess of the higher education institutions could also be leveraged for the purposes of business formation, attraction and retention. The Chamber has created a task force of regional business leaders to focus on understanding and better messaging the attributes of our area colleges and universities. We are beginning this endeavor with the compilation of a university “map” highlighting these strengths. The first university to be included in this map is The University of Texas at Austin. Information will be updated as it is received. Please find the search tool below.

For more information about this initiative, please contact Susan Davenport, Senior Vice President of Global Technology Strategies, Austin Chamber of Commerce at sdavenport@austinchamber.com or 512.322.5657.
