Metroplex Region for Business
Stretching from the Oklahoma border to the Brazos River, the Metroplex region spans 15,100 square miles and includes the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington and Sherman–Denison metro areas.
Home to over eight million Texans, it is one of the state’s most populous and diverse regions, featuring world-famous attractions like Reunion Tower, the Fort Worth Stockyards, and AT&T Stadium.
The Metroplex boasts a dynamic economy, anchored by banking, finance, and insurance industries, supported by the presence of the Dallas Federal Reserve. A thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, backed by venture capital firms, makes the region a hub for startups and innovation. Its strong business and finance workforce fuels corporate growth, while top-tier universities—including UT Dallas, TCU, and SMU—attract talent from across the nation.
