D CEO and Dallas Innovates' Innovation Award winners are working to resurrect extinct species, launching autonomous trucks, reinventing military aircraft, and bringing AI into the physical world—and that's just the beginning. The 2025 awards showcase game-changing achievements—including Texas' first newly minted decacorn—across 17 categories of innovation. Here’s a look at the innovators leading the way.
From tech and finance to fashion and food, "Dallas is becoming a melting pot of industries—and that diversity is a recipe for innovation," Healy says in D CEO. "Dallas is where dreams become reality, period."
First reported by D CEO, Mike Hoque and Mike Ablon have the iconic 72-story tower and four surrounding city blocks under contract, planning a $350 million redevelopment that includes a luxury hotel, street-level enhancements, and a potential new financial district in downtown Dallas.
J. Small Investments and Lyda Hill Philanthropies are teaming up to turn a former oil and gas industry campus into a center for innovation and social impact.
"It’s almost like an office building inside of a warehouse,” says Hillwood's Tony Creme. But what really sets the project apart is its adjacency to Alliance Park, a 165-acre green space that includes soccer fields, baseball fields, walking and biking trails, and other outdoor amenities.
Three experts in economic development, real estate, and investment—Mike Rosa, Linda McMahon, and Todd Watson—recount their roles in the Amazon effort, share details, and look ahead to the region’s future.
