Houston’s Economic Transformation: A city on the rise. 

Houston has overtaken New York as the U.S. export leader while rapidly expanding beyond its oil and gas heritage. In 2024, Texas generated more solar power than fossil fuels for the first time, with Houston at the forefront—home to 200+ renewable energy companies and $260 million invested in EV manufacturing last year alone. 

From oil barons to innovation leaders, Houston is now America’s most diverse city and a powerhouse of progress. Its legacy in space exploration is being revived at Houston Spaceport, fostering aerospace technology, while its world-class medical sector has become a global leader in healthcare and biotech. 

These advancements helped Houston secure the #1 spot in FT-Nikkei’s rankings for foreign investment in 2023.
