Technology and Innovation

College Station is where innovation takes root. Powered by Texas A&M’s $1 billion+ research enterprise and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, the city is attracting startups, scale-ups, and established technology firms seeking a community built for growth. 

A standout example is Lynntech, a nationally recognized research and development firm headquartered in College Station. For more than 35 years, Lynntech has advanced cutting-edge solutions in energy, defense, healthcare, and environmental technologies, successfully translating federally funded R&D into commercial applications. 

The city is also home to StataCorp, developer of world-class statistical software used by researchers and businesses worldwide; Reynolds and Reynolds, a leader in automotive retail software and business services; and Capsher Technology, a locally founded software. Together, these companies reflect the breadth of College Station’s innovation economy from advanced R&D to global technology solutions with real-world impact. 

The McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship further strengthens this sector by helping launch and scale dozens of successful Aggie-founded companies, and the Plug and Play Tech Center, a global innovation platform that connects startups with major corporations, venture capital, and mentorship. With these resources, College Station provides entrepreneurs and innovators the tools and networks they need to succeed.
