Texas innovation is as varied as the state is large. At Disruptors, a daylong forum held recently in Houston, Xconomy brought together entrepreneurs, investors, and other innovators to speak of their advances in investing, medical devices, virtual reality, and other sectors.
The event was held at the Texas Medical Center’s accelerator, TMCx, and attracted about 200 attendees. Xconomy thanks the Texas Medical Center, our host and platinum sponsor; Greater Houston Partnership, our VIP reception sponsor; Fannin Innovation Studio, our event supporter; and Seremedi, our event partner.
