Built to support businesses growth in Houston and beyond
Whether you’re looking to grow your network, connect with larger companies, or explore new markets, the Greater Houston Partnership offers programs designed to help small and mid-sized businesses access new opportunities across the Houston region and beyond.
Prepare your business to grow globally
Export Houston
Export Houston helps small and mid-sized businesses take the next step in international growth, whether they are exploring exporting for the first time, preparing to enter a market, or looking to expand into new markets.
Through practical training, tools, and access to Houston’s trade ecosystem, businesses can build their export knowledge, develop a strategy, and connect with the organizations and experts that can help along the way.
The program grows with businesses as they gain export experience. Companies can begin with the free Resource Library, advance to the World Trade Center International Trade Certificate Program for more in depth training, and eventually apply for a selective yearlong cohort designed for experienced exporters entering new markets.
Best for: Small and mid-sized businesses looking to increase revenue and scale through exporting or expansion into international markets.
