Why Now?
Texas is now the 8th largest economy in the world, and state leaders have made research, talent, and innovation central to long-term economic growth. These aims are furthered by TXST’s expansion of research, which transforms public investment into skilled graduates, new knowledge, and solutions that meet real needs across the state and in the country.
