Dallas-Fort Worth data center market to double by 2026
Texas is a leader in data center employment, with the second highest number of jobs nationwide, new data shows.
Why it matters: Companies, investors and the government are pouring millions of dollars into data centers to help power AI and other next-gen tech.
Texas saw a 38% increase in data center jobs from 2018 to 2024.
Zoom in: Travis, Dallas, Collin, Harris and Bexar counties accounted for nearly 76% of the state's total data center employment in the second quarter of 2024.
Based on projects under construction, the Dallas-Fort Worth data center market will double by the end of 2026, per a recent CBRE report.
Zoom out: D-FW's hold on the data center market is slipping. The region was second to Northern Virginia in market share in 2022.
Now Atlanta, Chicago and Phoenix have surpassed D-FW's market share, according to CBRE.
The big picture: California, Texas, Florida, New York and Georgia collectively make up more than 40% of U.S. data center employment, per the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Workforce Indicators.
At 17%, California has the highest share in the nation, followed by Texas, with 10% (47,856 jobs).
Between the lines: There's debate over how many jobs data centers actually create and whether they're worth the energy required to run them.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas forecasts that electricity demand from major users like data centers will jump nearly 60% from 2024 to 2025.
The intrigue: Microsoft is addressing its environmental impact.
The tech giant recently signed a 25-year deal with Chestnut Carbon to restore 60,000 acres in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana by planting over 35 million trees to offset its carbon emissions.

Founders: Eric Glyman (CEO), Karim AtiyehLaunched: 2019Headquarters: New York CityFunding: $1.2 billionValuation: $13 billionKey Technologies: Artificial intelligence, machine learningIndustry: FintechPrevious appearances on Disruptor 50 list: 2 (No. 32 in 2024) When companies are under pressure to do more with less, managing spend becomes a top priority. Ramp, a financial operations platform, is part of a growing number of tools designed to automate that process by streamlining payments, cutting costs, and freeing up finance teams to focus on strategy instead of spreadsheets. Since its launch six years ago, Ramp has become one of the fastest-growing players in the space. It now serves more than 30,000 U.S. companies, ranging from startups like Olipop to large enterprises like CBRE and ZipRecruiter. The company issues credit cards and automates expenses and accounting. It makes money from credit card interchange fees and software subscriptions. "Our core value proposition is helping businesses achieve more with less and spend less, which went from a-nice-to-have to truly the difference between whether you would exist or not in 2022 and 2023," CEO Eric Glyman told CNBC in March. At a time when others in Silicon Valley have had to cut back, Ramp has managed to raise more money. In March, the company secured a $150 million secondary deal led by Khosla Ventures, Thrive Capital and General Catalyst that valued the company at $13 billion. The spend management space has also become more crowded with players like Brex, Navan, Expensify, Mesh Payments, Airbase and Center fighting for market share all while competing against legacy players such as American Express, SAP Concur and Ramp's new additions will be critical to its continued growth. Over the past year, Ramp has doubled down on its focus on enterprise companies and added new features. In January, it launched Ramp Treasury, which allows companies to earn 2.5% on idle operating cash. It also acquired Venue, an AI-powered procurement software startup, and used it to roll out new vendor payment tools. In June, it debuted Ramp Travel, partnering with Priceline to use AI and automation to streamline and simplify the process of booking and managing expenses for corporate travel, moving into a space squarely in the sights of fellow Disruptor Navan. Other product launches include App Center, which deepened integrations with popular enterprise tools like Microsoft Dynamics, Workday, and QuickBooks Desktop. Internally, Ramp promoted two executives to top roles, naming Will Petrie to CFO and Geoff Charles to chief product officer. It also opened a new San Francisco office to expand its talent base. Ramp now employs more than 1,000 people.
