Join the Partnership on Friday, May 12 for the State of Houston's Global Economy hosted at the Omni Hotel.

Houston is a thriving international city with a geographic location that makes it easy to move both goods and people around the globe thanks to its proximity to one of the largest ports in the country and two international airports. In addition to Houston's position as one of America's most diverse cities, the region offers a well-developed suite of key global industries – including energy, life sciences, manufacturing, logistics and aerospace.

As part of International Business Month, the State of Houston's Global Economy explores Houston's international ties and their impact on the regional and national economy. The Partnership’s Chief Economist, Patrick Jankowski, will present the 2023 Global Houston publication, offering insights on the Houston region's leading international trade partners and other global business data.

Join us in highlighting the region’s internationality and strength in connecting businesses to all corners of the world.
