Silicon Valley has been the epicentre of the tech industry for decades, however since November 2020 more tech industry leaders such as Oracle, Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise had announced their relocation to Texas. The Lone Star state has quickly gained ground as a tech hub.
The Dallas, Austin and Houston areas in particular are experiencing a massive boom with many large tech companies making the move from Silicon Valley to enjoy all that Texas has to offer. It’s clear that where businesses go, people follow, according to the 2021 Texas Relocation Report released by Texas Realtors, more than 500,000 people moved to Texas in 2019 — 537,000-582,000 new residents.
What’s so appealing about Texas that it’s attracting so many big companies
One of the most compelling factors in this rapid growth is the favourable tax conditions in the state. Business taxes are extremely low in Texas, and there is no personal income tax, this gives Texas two advantages over most states.
On top of the tax breaks gained when moving to Texas, many movers and shakers experience a better quality of life. Everything is bigger, the cost of living is relatively low with an array of properties no wonder most people are packing their belongings and heading to the state.
The rise in remote work changing the traditional workplace structure that companies have created over the years, means that more people are forced to work from home.
