Several annual events convening leaders and highlighting one of the World’s most influential energy corridors and trade ports.

6 full-time and 1 part-time professional staff and 2 college interns.

The Houston Port region’s make up is so unique that there is not a blueprint of how to strategize to improve our economic development activities/assets, transportation infrastructure, workforce development entities and investment protections. For this reason, EconomicAlliance has established itself as the convening entity in identifying, prioritizing, and promoting issues of Houston Port region significance.
