2 min read August 2024 — The importance of the Houston region is indisputable, not only for being the fourth largest city in the country, but for its 2023 FT-Nikkel ranking position as the top best U.S. city for foreign multinational business.
Capital Analytics is thrilled to announce the very first Invest:Houston launch conference, where industry and community leaders will have the opportunity to discuss the region’s business climate and the path that led Houston to become one of the top locations in the tech sector.
It will take place on September 12, from 8 am to 12 pm at the JW Marriott Houston by The Galleria. Our panelists will give their insights on how Houston is using advanced technologies and new models to improve healthcare efficiency; educational improvement through policy, technology and community involvement; and finally the trends and technologies that are guiding Houston’s journey toward sustainability and resilience.
Check-in for the conference will begin at 8 am in conjunction with light breakfast networking. The event will start at 9 am with opening remarks by Capital Analytics CEO Abby Lindberg, followed by three panel discussions about healthcare, education and sustainability.
