About Austin

Austin has been the highest growth city in the US for more than a decade. With a very strong university, a business friendly environment,  over 220 days of sunshine per year, a progressive and liberal atmosphere, and a strong character that keeps Austin unique,  no wonder that the capital of Texas has been deemed the other Silicon Valley, acting as an irresistible magnet to so many global high tech companies and small start-ups alike. Oh yes, and we also have a Colorado river running through downtown too!

Get a taste of this unique blend of culture making Austin the Live Music Capital of the world with its numerous downtown venues and rich restaurant scene, enjoy the nearby rolling hills of Texas wine country, ride across Zilker Park, take a day trip to Lake Travis, and visit  Austin  during world-famous SXSW  film and music festival (https://www.sxsw.com)
