About
ACCELERATING TEXAS INNOVATION, COMPETITIVENESS, AND JOBS GROWTH
The Texas Foundation for Innovative Communities (TFIC) is a non-profit funded by the state of Texas to develop Texas’ clean tech industry. Clean Tech is the fastest growing industry in history, a $7 trillion global opportunity, yet globally only 5 of the leading 30 companies are domestic.
Texas ranks in the top five states, but is far behind California and Massachusetts, while Asian and European countries are making massive strategic investments. How will Texas claim its fair share in world markets, in the U.S., and in Washington, D.C.?
TFIC promotes several interlocking initiatives intended to significantly accelerate the way Texas innovates, competes, and creates high-wage jobs.
Innovation systematically translated into regional high-growth companies is the basis for industry competitiveness and regional prosperity. TFIC takes a “systems” approach to competitiveness, supporting the critical stages in development of a high-growth industry. All of our projects fit into the model below to enhance the innovation pipeline.
