As the 10th largest economy in the world, Texas is at the top of nearly every "best states to do business list" and maintains its position as the nation's #1 job creator. The Texas Economic Development Corporation (TxEDC) is an independently funded and operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization responsible for marketing and promoting Texas as a premier business location. Along with the Governor's Office of Economic Development and Tourism (EDT), these two highly focused organizations make up the cornerstone of Governor Greg Abbott's economic development agenda to build a stronger Texas.
