AUSTIN, TEXAS
Strategy and operations consulting in Austin.
Austin has grown from a state capital and university town into a major technology center, with Tesla's Gigafactory, Samsung's and NXP's chip plants, Dell's headquarters in Round Rock, and large Apple and Google offices.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Austin.
State government and the University of Texas remain large employers, but technology now drives growth, from semiconductor fabs in Austin and Taylor to software firms and large tech campuses in North Austin. Tesla's Gigafactory in eastern Travis County has added auto manufacturing. Rapid growth pushed housing costs up sharply before a construction boom brought apartment rents and home prices down, and office vacancy is high after tech firms cut back.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Austin management teams.
Companies here compete with big tech for software engineers and with chip makers for technicians. Startups and growth-stage firms face tighter venture funding and must show a path to profit. Contractors and suppliers to the new fabs and to Tesla need certifications, safety systems and capacity to meet the demands of very large customers.
