What is Casa TechMex?
A cultural festival of Mexican Innovation
Casa TechMex is the flagship gathering of TechMex Austin, a cultural festival of Mexican Innovation where technology, entrepreneurship, design, culture, and community live under one roof.
The tech identity stays at the core: startups, AI, investment, and talent. It expands into art, design, music, gastronomy, and community, with technology as an amplifier of culture, and culture as an accelerator of technology.
Technology and entrepreneurship are not separate from culture. They are a contemporary expression of Mexican ingenuity. Casa TechMex is the bridge between Austin and Mexico where that expression takes the stage.
The experience
Come in through tech. Leave through culture. Or the other way around.
You can enter through technology, culture, community, or entrepreneurship and end up discovering all the others.

Innovation Expo
Builders show what they're creating: AI, entrepreneurship and cross-border building.

Cultural Showcase
The festival atmosphere that makes this more than a conference.
Gastronomy
Mexican cuisine as innovation you can taste.
Networking
Founders, talent, investors, artists, and community — circulating together.
