According to a new report from Dallas-based JLL, society is accelerating the volume of data it creates at a rapid rate—and that data is foundational to how we work, live, and play. That's led to sharply increasing demand for data centers in a time of tightening supply, forcing a shift toward secondary and new, emerging markets.
The event, held November 7 at Dallas' Pegasus Park, capped off a six-week MassChallenge Human Potential Sprint program based in Dallas. Sixteen startups from across the U.S. took part, pursuing innovations from wearable devices to "digital pills" to next-gen eye-tracking tech. See who pitched what.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health—or ARPA-H— wants to enable 90% of eligible Americans to participate in clinical trials within 30 minutes of their homes.

MassChallenge brought together more than 200 startups, investors, and corporates from the U.S. and beyond for a three-day gathering at Dallas' Pegasus Park. The Boston-based nonprofit accelerator, which expanded to North Texas last year, showcased its new hub as a center of innovation and entrepreneurship.
From an old car parts garage, Vertex Founder Joshua Boger launched the Boston-based biotech giant in 1989, running it for two decades as CEO. Boger "unretired" in June to join fast-moving Alkeus Pharmaceuticals as executive chairman.
