Software giant Oracle has chosen Austin for its first U.S. startup accelerator program.
The Startup Cloud Accelerator announced today follows the recent completion of Oracle’s 560,000-square-foot campus southeast of downtown Austin.
Oracle, the second-largest software company in the world, will pick five to six startups focused on cloud technology to take part in the six month program, which it will run twice a year.
