According to Dealroom's Global Tech Ecosystem Index 2025, Austin, Texas ranks as the fifth-best tech ecosystem worldwide, highlighting its continued prominence despite recent reports of talent outflow. The United States dominates the global technology landscape, with six of the top ten tech ecosystems and four of the top five located within the country. Globally, the U.S. leads in big tech, biotechnology, and physics, while China excels in drones, 5G, and battery technologies. Both nations are competing closely in artificial intelligence, semiconductor chips, and advanced manufacturing. Europe’s leading area in technology remains limited, with no broad dominance indicated. These findings contrast with narratives suggesting a decline in Austin's tech sector, underscoring the city's and the U.S.'s ongoing influence in global tech innovation.
