The Army Futures Command (AFC), Thursday, held its grand opening of the Center for Defense Innovation at the Capital Factory in Austin.
The Capital Factory is a technology hub for hundreds of startups working in software, hardware and innovation.
The 8th floor of the Onmi Hotel building will house the AFC Applications Lab, the Air Force’s AFwerX, the Department of Defense Innovation Unit, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and a team from a technology consulting firm will work in the space.
Austin competed with more than 140 cities for the command which is based at The University of Texas and employs 500 U.S. Army personnel and civilians.
While the Future Command’s primary base is at the University of Texas System building downtown, the organization’s Capital Factory outpost provides a space that is close to potential startup partners.
Austin is home to 6,500 tech companies and 36 incubators. The Army is also working to start other outposts at Texas A&M University.
