A Progressive Stake on the Sweeping Plains

Lubbock’s world-recognized research activities emerged from the needs of our traditional industries and environmental strengths.  Our biotechnology research grew out of our agriculture industry, and wind turbine technologies developed in order to capture the energy potential of our high plains geography.

The values and hard work that formed our strong city are at work today cultivating the ideas of the future. 

Today, Lubbock offers a full range of support for businesses of all sizes and industry sectors. Lubbock’s economy is diversified, strong, and stable – balanced by manufacturing, trade, healthcare, logistics, and R&D sectors. We target industries that can leverage on our strengths and whose future will flourish hand in hand with the city’s. Bioscience, Business Services, Clean Energy, Advanced Security, and Light Manufacturing are the focus of the Lubbock EDA’s economic development program, along with sectors that have a long history in our community:  Agriculture, Health Care, and Distribution.
