Rio South Texas Region Showcases Strength at TxEDC Annual Investor Summit

On September 24, 2025, the Texas Economic Development Corporation (TxEDC) hosted its Annual Investor Summit in Westlake, Texas, under the theme “Texas Takeover: America’s New Financial Hub.” The event highlighted Texas’s pro-business climate, its emergence as a financial center with the recent launch of the New York Stock Exchange’s Texas operations, and the state’s growing role in attracting financial services and investment.

COSTEP CEO Adam González had the privilege of introducing the panel “Capital Roots & Texas Growth: The Role of Venture Capital & Private Equity in Texas,” highlighting the importance of investment capital in driving Texas’s next wave of expansion.

The summit featured a discussion with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, moderated by Glenn Hamer, president and CEO of the Texas Association of Business, focusing on Texas’s business climate and financial growth.

The Rio South Texas Region was strongly represented at this high-level event, with McAllen EDC, Mission EDC, GBIC, Port of Brownsville, Laredo EDC, and CIL joining forces to showcase the region’s opportunities for growth and investment.

We thank TxEDC and the Office of the Governor for coordinating such a successful summit and for the opportunity to position the Rio South Texas Region at the center of Texas’s economic future.
