Round Rock Chamber Joins Regional Delegation on UK Business Recruitment Mission

Jordan Robinson, President & CEO of the Round Rock Chamber, recently joined Opportunity Austin and regional partners on an international trade and investment mission to the United Kingdom. The delegation included representatives from communities across Williamson County and Central Texas, with the shared goal of promoting the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan area to UK-based companies considering investment in the United States.

Showcasing Regional Strengths

The UK has strong business ties with Texas across technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and financial services. Both Austin and London are known for their innovation ecosystems, thriving entrepreneurial communities, and world-class talent pipelines. During the visit, the delegation highlighted the many advantages Central Texas offers international companies looking to expand operations, from a supportive business climate to access to one of the nation’s fastest-growing labor markets.

Round Rock on the Global Stage

The Chamber’s participation ensured that Round Rock was prominently represented in these conversations. With established advanced industries, a highly skilled workforce, and a reputation for innovation, Round Rock is a strategic gateway for international companies entering the U.S. market. Strengthening relationships with business leaders abroad positions the community for long-term success and underscores Round Rock’s growing role in the global economy.

A Priority in the Chamber’s Economic Development Strategy

The Chamber’s recently released five-year economic development strategy identifies international marketing as a priority to diversify the local economy and attract new investment. Joining the UK mission reflects the importance of elevating Round Rock’s profile internationally and building partnerships that will create new opportunities for local residents and businesses.

Continuing the Momentum

Through strong partnerships with Opportunity Austin and other regional allies, the Round Rock Chamber remains committed to promoting Central Texas on the international stage. By engaging directly with global markets, the Chamber is advancing its mission to ensure Round Rock continues to thrive as a competitive, innovative, and connected community.
