Innovation hubs are going to be in cities focused on the industries and clients of that city. So in Houston, it's focused on our industrial companies, particularly the energy sector, robotics, and automation.

There is no economic law that says that everyone, or even most people, automatically benefit from technological progress.

There is a very genuine belief that without diversity of thought, companies can't innovate.

Of all the cities in Texas, Houston is the most international. Of the people who come here, those from India find it attractive because it is a broad-minded city -- and it has the same climate they are used to. Others notice the open-thinking attitude Houston has toward the import/export business.

Above and beyond, not only are we an innovation company, we are in service of our clients.

KUKA Robotics' stainless steel robots have been working in many applications & industries in Europe and we are pleased to be able to offer our North American customers this option as well. Food manufacturing in particular requires extremely stringent sterility standards and stainless steel is the optimum material to meet these requirements.
