Tech Square is part of the Georgia Tech campus, so I would assume it's pretty confined to Georgia Tech.

This is awesome. You have a free place to stay in Austin, TX for a week on West 5th street if you'd like to extend your research. Please contact me if interested.
This town has it's edge in B2B but there are a lot of people here seeking to add B2C to that list (the fun stuff), especially given UT is a campus of 50k young bloods. ATX has a low cost of living/business, great public schools, healthy state economy, no state income tax, and liberal-centric social policies. We produce a lot of talent @ UT, but it's milked out of here by GOOG, AAPL, MS, SUN, etc. as soon as it graduates.
TX doesn't have quite the goods as SF (especially in terms of financing — but easy to bootstrap), however Austin is a city most people move here and end up not leaving.

Some of the biotech companies work with both Emory and Tech. That's a couple blocks away though.

Any startup/university activity that I'm aware of is all associated with Georgia Tech. Tech Square is the community's core. But I'm not too familiar with biotech startups.
