DFW Business & Economy in 2026 — Startups, Corporate Moves & North Texas Growth

Dallas-Fort Worth's economy added over 180,000 jobs in the past two years, anchored by the tech corridor in Frisco and Plano, the healthcare network in the Medical District, and the financial services hub downtown. Several Fortune 500 companies relocated headquarters to DFW in 2024–2025, and the region's lack of state income tax continues to attract businesses from California and New York. Small business openings in Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, and Fort Worth's Sundance Square reflect the region's entrepreneurial energy.
