OUr story
Austin Hardtech was founded to bring together the growing community of innovators and companies building physical technology in Central Texas.
It grew out of the recognition that hardware founders, engineers, and manufacturers needed a stronger network, a place to collaborate, share resources, and accelerate innovation across the state.
Today, Austin Hardtech serves as the founding chapter of Hardtech Texas, a statewide initiative connecting builders, investors, and industry partners who believe in making things that matter.
