Why TEX-E Matters

Houston is the Energy Capital of the World because previous generations built the technologies, companies, and workforce that powered global growth.

Now, we are at another turning point.

The next major energy companies will be founded somewhere. With the right support, they can be founded here — in Houston and across Texas.
