Foreign Investment in Texas

The 8th largest economy in the world, Texas is committed to international partnerships.

Texas is one of the United States’ leading destinations for foreign-owned companies, more than 1,745 of which employ more than 678,000 workers across Texas, spanning all business sectors and locations in the state. Texas has led the nation in exports for 22 consecutive years, with $444 billion in goods in 2023, and led the nation in tech exports for the last eleven years. Thirty-four Foreign Trade Zones across the state allow companies to move goods internationally without formal customs entry, and the Office of the Governor’s Texas Exports Assistance Program helps companies expand into international markets and export their goods and services.
