About the Houston Technology Center

Houston Technology Center (HTC) is a business accelerator that incubates emerging technology companies within several key industries: Energy, Information Technology, Life Sciences and NASA-originated technologies. A non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation, HTC helps Houston-based entrepreneurs grow their businesses by providing them with in-depth business guidance and access to capital and professional services. Entrepreneurs also benefit from exposure and networking opportunities provided by HTC events.

The new 26,000-square-foot Houston Technology Center includes incubator space for client companies, an Information Technology training lab where workforce development training courses are held, and space for networking and educational events that bring Houston's technology community together. On August 28, 2002, approximately 1,000 entrepreneurs, investors and business, academic and government leaders attended the Grand Opening of the Houston Technology Center at 410 Pierce in Midtown.
