“Each nominee and winner represent what makes Austin’s innovative and entrepreneurial community unique and successful. We look forward to a yearlong celebration and relationship with our winners and thank all 165 nominees for everything they do for our community and economy,” said Austin Chamber Senior Vice President, Global Technology and Innovation, Leigh Christie.

We hope to make our city proud.”
