Research by the Draper Hero Institute created an index of emerging innovative hot spots to recognize the development of advanced technology and economic growth.
Four things to know about the innovation results:
- Washington, Florida and Texas ranked as the top three U.S. states for innovation overall.
- California scored high for its thriving tech sector in the Silicon Valley but was marked down for high taxes and state regulations, Tim Draper, the firm’s founder, told the Journal.
- Texas ranked third overall. It attracted $1.3 billion in venture capital for the first three months of 2021, more than what was raised in each of the previous three quarters.
- Two Silicon Valley companies, Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, announced plans in December to relocate their headquarters to Texas.
Becker’s Hospital Review has reached out to the Draper Hero Institute and will update the article with any further information.
