Target Industries

Medical/Healthcare

Kyle has rapidly evolved into a hub for healthcare innovation and services. With institutions like Ascension Seton Hays and the upcoming St. David’s HealthCare facility, the city is experiencing unprecedented growth in medical development. These investments, totaling over $185 million, have not only expanded the availability of healthcare services but have also stimulated demand for medical equipment, supplies, and professionals. Kyle’s strategic location in the Texas Innovation Corridor further supports the industry, making it a key destination for healthcare businesses.

Higher Education

With a focus on talent development and education, Kyle is positioning itself as a growing center for higher education. The city's proximity to top-tier institutions like Texas State University in nearby San Marcos and Austin’s various universities creates a strong educational pipeline for businesses. Additionally, Austin Community College Hays Campus plays a pivotal role in providing local students and residents with opportunities for workforce training and higher education. Hays CISD’s innovative Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, including its advanced Automotive Technology Center, continue to equip students with in-demand skills. As the need for specialized knowledge and training grows, Kyle offers an ideal environment for higher education institutions and workforce development programs to flourish.

Business and Professional Services

Kyle’s growth offers significant opportunities for business and professional services to thrive. The city is home to a highly educated workforce, many of whom have been commuting to nearby Austin. By creating more job opportunities locally, Kyle not only helps residents avoid long commutes but also supports a growing ecosystem of professional services that cater to regional and national businesses. From legal services to tech consulting, Kyle is ready to welcome companies seeking proximity to a skilled workforce with lower operating costs compared to larger cities.

Warehousing and Manufacturing

Kyle’s strategic location along the I-35 corridor positions it as an ideal hub for warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing. The city offers seamless access to major interstate highways, facilitating swift distribution across Texas, the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Existing infrastructure has attracted industry leaders such as Amazon, Lowe’s, and FedEx, solidifying Kyle’s reputation as a logistics and manufacturing powerhouse. With ample land and a business-friendly environment, Kyle continues to be a desirable location for both domestic and international companies.

Sports and Family Entertainment

As part of Kyle’s vision to create a dynamic community, the city is investing in sports and family entertainment facilities. Plans for a new sportsplex will expand recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. These developments, combined with the city's robust park system and family-friendly atmosphere, make Kyle a prime destination for sports venues, entertainment complexes, and recreational businesses. The focus on active, family-centered living creates a strong foundation for entertainment-related industries to grow alongside the city’s expanding population.

ENF’s decision to locate in Kyle highlights their ability to attract technology focused foreign direct investment to the Texas Innovation Corridor.
