A Texas City’s Named One of the Most High-Tech Cities in the World, But it’s Not the City You Think

If Dallasites didn’t have enough reasons to boast about their city, Business Insider just gave them another huge bragging right.

The prominent business site ranks Dallas-Fort Worth as one of the most high-tech cities in the world – and it’s the only Texas spot to make the cut. Take that, Austin!

Business Insider consulted with research firm 2thinknow to determine the 85 most technologically advanced cities in the world. Dallas-Fort Worth came in at number 11, beating out Beijing, Washington, D.C., and Tokyo among others.

You can thank the explosive tech scene for pushing North Texas into the future. The metroplex’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has experienced serious growth in the last year, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Dallas is still behind a few other American cities in tech, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and San Francisco (which topped the list).

However, it wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas continued to climb the rankings in coming years.

Yes, Dallas is the city of tomorrow – and it’s already leading the pack in the Lone Star State.
