The State of Houston’s Global Economy provides an analysis of global business and economic trends and their impact on our regional market.

Houston is a thriving international city, connecting companies and talent from all corners of the world. The region’s geographic location 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 science, manufacturing, logistics and aerospace.

The State of Houston's Global Economy explores how Houston's international ties impact the regional and national economy through presentations from leading economists and business experts. 

The Partnership’s Senior Vice President of Research, Patrick Jankowski, will present the 2022 Global Houston publication, offering insights on the Houston region's leading international trade partners and other global business data. 

Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak, Global Chief Economist at Boston Consulting Group, will provide a broader view of the current global business environment and the changing dynamics. 

The State of Houston's Global Economy is part of the Greater Houston Partnership's International Business Month, a series of programming and exclusive content highlighting the region's internationality and strength in connecting businesses to all corners of the world.
