The festival where culture and innovation build the future together.
Festival Cultural de Innovación
Technology, entrepreneurship, culture, and community under one community, during Austin Tech Week.
Festival Cultural de Innovación
Casa TechMex is the flagship gathering of TechMex Austin, a cultural festival of Mexican innovation where technology, entrepreneurship, design, culture, and community live under one community.
The tech identity stays at the core: startups, AI, investment, and talent. It expands into art, design, music, gastronomy, and community, treating tradition and future as one continuity.
Technology and entrepreneurship are not separate from culture. They are a contemporary expression of Mexican ingenuity. Casa TechMex is the bridge between Austin and Mexico where that expression takes the stage.
Come in through tech. Leave through culture. Or the other way around.
You can enter through technology, culture, community, or entrepreneurship and end up discovering all the others.
