TechBA-Austin, opened December 2005, is one of the technology business accelerators created by the United States-Mexico Foundation for Science (FUMEC), sponsored by the Mexican Ministry of Economy. It is operated in partnership with the IC² Institute’s Global Commercialization Group (GCG) at The University of Texas Austin.
TechBA Austin’s acceleration process has eased the access to financial, market, technology and managerial resources for 150 established Mexican technology businesses in one of the world’s most entrepreneurial ecosystems, Austin, Texas. The companies have generated $8.6 million USD in sales for 2011.
TechBA Austin also works with companies based in Mexico who are preparing for expansion, but are not yet ready to open a U.S. office. These “pre-acceleration” companies receive training and support via seminars and consultations in both Mexico and Austin. Since 2005, more than 170 companies have received remote training.
