Houston's Innovation Ecosystem

HOUSTON’S INNOVATION CORRIDOR

Houston's four-mile-long Corridor is linked by light rail, bike lanes and sidewalks, with access to key industry and institutional players.

Anchored on the south by the world’s largest medical complex, the Texas Medical Center along with top-ranked Rice University, the Corridor runs north along Houston’s light-rail line through the 700-acre Hermann Park, and Museum District. It continues past the eclectic Montrose neighborhood and through Midtown, home to a millennial-friendly mix of housing, dining and recreational options. The University of Houston, a major Tier One University, is also in close proximity to the Corridor. The Corridor reaches its northern limit in Downtown, the nexus of corporate headquarters, financial institutions and professional service firms, and a wide variety of cultural and recreational amenities.
