Connect with Austin
Austin is booming, and UT is at the heart of its innovation ecosystem. UT research is a key reason the Austin area is home to Dell, Apple, Google, Tesla and other technology giants. Its vibrant campus — both historic and state-of-the-art — is at the crossroads of technology, the arts, business, medicine, sports and entertainment, and thought leadership of all kinds. Cultural mega-events like South by Southwest and the Austin City Limits Music Festival are outgrowths of this synergy.
