Oracle has announced they are moving their headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, becoming the latest high-profile tech company to make the move to Texas.
Earlier this week, Elon Musk announced he was moving to Texas.
"Texas is truly the land of business, jobs, and opportunity. We will continue to attract the very best," said Governor Greg Abbott. “Oracle is a global technology giant with an already strong presence here in Texas, and we are proud to welcome its headquarters to Austin. While some states are driving away businesses with high taxes and heavy-handed regulations, we continue to see a tidal wave of companies like Oracle moving to Texas thanks to our friendly business climate, low taxes, and the best workforce in the nation. Most important of all, these companies are looking for a home where they have the freedom to grow their business and better serve their employees and customers, and when it comes to economic prosperity, there is no place like the Lone Star State.”
