The business voice for Texas' digital infrastructure.
Texas Business for Tomorrow brings employers, builders, local chambers, and economic development leaders together to keep Texas the best place in America to build the data centers, power, and networks the modern economy runs on.
Convened by the Texas Association of Business, the Texas State Chamber. Formerly the Texas Digital Infrastructure Coalition.

Tomorrow's economy is being built in Texas today
Every hospital record, bank transaction, and AI tool runs on digital infrastructure. Where it gets built decides where the jobs, investment, and innovation of the next generation go. Texas should lead.
Investment that stays
Data centers are long-term, steel-in-the-ground projects that operate for decades and grow local tax bases that fund schools, roads, and first responders.
Jobs across the trades
Electricians, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and engineers build and run these facilities, and every project supports suppliers and small businesses nearby.
A magnet for what's next
Companies want to locate where strong digital infrastructure already exists. One anchor investment draws the next.
Growth done right, for every Texan
The coalition works with lawmakers, regulators, and communities on the issues that decide whether Texas keeps building.
Reliable power for everyone
Grid planning that welcomes new demand while protecting reliability and affordability for homes and businesses across Texas.
Responsible water stewardship
Smart cooling technologies, reuse, and long-term water planning that protect local supplies as Texas grows.
A competitive, predictable business climate
Stable tax and regulatory policy so companies can plan multi-decade investments with confidence.
A workforce ready to build it
Partnerships with community colleges, trade programs, and employers to train Texans for the jobs this industry creates.
Strong local partnerships
Projects that work hand in hand with host communities, so the benefits are felt close to home.
