Great comments from Darran Anderson at the Texas Department of Transportation. The era of isolated autonomy is ending. We are entering the era of Autonomy 2.0 - orchestrated mobility and integration into our communities. Infrastructure has always been the Industry Catalyst. History is not merely a sequence of inventions, but a record of infrastructures built to harness them. Isolated concepts remain niche; integrated systems redefine economies and nations. Jensen Huang’s NVIDIA GTC Keynote on how physical AI is powering the next generation of intelligent systems with AI-RAN. The cloud built the digital economy. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE will build the physical one, connecting the world to intelligence and enabling the AI economy. We need to stop betting on the vehicle alone and start investing in the stage it performs on. The White House is looking to Texas to lead with Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones. The U.S. Department of Transportation, the United States Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the United States Department of War have championed INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE for decades. Texas is executing a Statewide plan for Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones (IIEZ) that will serve as a national model.

Office of the Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's Interim Charges Call for INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE The Texas Lone Star Edge Builds a Resilient State Securing the Digital Liberty Pole of the 21st Century As Texas continues its historic ascent—attracting world-leading businesses, pioneering innovation, and developing the nation’s most collaborative workforce—we stand at a critical crossroads. The Texas 2026 Interim Legislative Charges outline a clear mandate: we must modernize our electric grid, secure our borders, and prepare our workforce for the Age of AI. To meet these challenges, Texas is defining the "roads of the 21st century" through Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones (IIEZs). This plan is more than a technological upgrade; it is the establishment of a Liberty Pole for our data, protecting Texas Sovereignty under the banner: “Don’t Tread on Our Data!” State of the Future, Autonomy Institute, Intelligent Infrastructure Commerce & Defense Act

Great to see the collaboration between Eli Lilly and Company and NVIDIA. Dave Ricks and Jensen Huang Announce Co-Innovation AI Lab to Reinvent Drug Discovery In the Age of AI Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., Executive Chairman and Founder Joel Marcus, Peter M. Moglia, and Hunter Kass are the innovative real estate team to execute the Vision for an AI-Enabled Campus Point in the Austin Innovation District. Building Our Nation's Next Golden Age in Life Sciences. Fantastic leadership in Texas to lead the effort: Steve Van Soelen, Claire Aldridge, Jeremy Lieberman, Hunter Reed, Janelle Macone, and team. Casting the Vision for an AI-enabled Innovation Engine. "The best way to predict your future is to create it." Abraham Lincoln The AI-enabled Campus will turn the Austin Innovation District into a global hub for AI-driven real estate development, using advanced AI, robotics, and active digital twin technologies. The project will serve as a model for smart cities, combining AI-enabled solutions with real estate development to create intelligent, adaptive, secure environments and user experiences, while prioritizing data sovereignty and security. Integrating INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE (I2) and an AI-Enabled Mega Campus accelerates the Intelligent Hospital by turning it into a living lab and high-fidelity validation platform. This convergence of physical real estate, digital connectivity, and AI computing moves the industry beyond "Health 1.0" (the digital record) into Health 2.0 (the autonomous, predictive, and personalized ecosystem).

Data is the new oil, and Texas is leading the data economy. Physical AI will generate billions in revenue for our state, and Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones ensure that it supports our local communities. INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE is the wellhead of the data economy, addressing sovereign AI to control privacy and security. CloudBurst Data Centers, Inc. breaks ground on Texas Gigawatt-scale project... CloudBurst has broken ground on a 1.2GW data center campus in Central Texas. Tye Johnson, Cynthia "CC" Thompson, Roy Davis, Polly Gifford, and team. Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones bridge the Civic and market economies and touch the day-to-day lives of our fellow citizens.  A key benefit is the activation of new locally built service providers. Drone as a First Responder, AI Service Providers, Active Digital Twin Providers, Automated Mobility Districts, Urban Air Mobility, and the successful integration of the shared infrastructure model to support 30+ years of resilient upgrades. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, discusses how Physical-AI is impacting the $100 trillion physical world. Fantastic leadership from Mike Kamerlander, CEcD, Hays Caldwell Economic Development Partnership, in establishing the Innovation Corridor Defense Accelerator.
