Why Austin, Texas
Central Texas is where American computing is being re-industrialized: CHIPS-Act fabrication in Austin and Taylor, frontier AI infrastructure, driverless fleets on public streets, commercial launch and lunar construction, and an independent grid built for the load. ACS is headquartered at 600 Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, within the Texas Tech Triangle of Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio.
