HP, the company that literally started Silicon Valley, is moving to Texas


The company announced its move on Tuesday. Houston is currently the largest employment center for the Hewlett-Packard Enterprise in the U.S., and the company is building a new campus in the city. HPE will consolidate its number of two area sites on its San Jose campus. This move will not result in any dismissal.

HPE (HPE) Move Texas is hardly a new concept in the tech world. The largest – but only the latest technology company to make the trip to the South: Sinec, QuishWePro and DZS (formerly known as Dasan Zone Solutions) also flew from California to Texas.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk threatened in May that he would move from the company’s headquarters in Fremont, California to Palo Alto to Texas or Nevada because of resentment over California’s stay-at-home orders. While it didn’t go with it, the company announced in July that it would build its new auto plant in the suburbs of Austin.
It also comes during an epidemic, a time when companies from all industries are rethinking the space and location of office fees and turning to work-to-culture.

Dell is headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, near the Texas Stin, and many other tech companies are considering moving to Texas for tax reasons. In fact, a patch of Austin has been dubbed “Silicon Hills” because of the cluster of tech companies in the metro Austin area.

HP’s success in the Palo Alto accelerated the Northern California region’s tech scene, eventually making it the moniker “Silicon Valley.” In HP’s first year, Hewlett and Packard invented their first product: the HP Model 200A, an audio dioc seller used to test sound devices.

The company built its first computer in 1966 and in 1972 the famous HP-35 – the world’s first hand-held scientific calculator.
In 2015, the company split into HPE and hardware maker HP Inc. (HPQ)Is, which does not lead to Texas.
