1 HOUSTON INNOVATION CORRIDOR
2 WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON IN THIS DECADE AND DO THE OTHER THINGS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD, BECAUSE THAT GOAL WILL SERVE TO ORGANIZE AND MEASURE THE BEST OF OUR ENERGIES AND SKILLS, BECAUSE THAT CHALLENGE IS ONE THAT WE ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT, ONE WE ARE UNWILLING TO POSTPONE, AND ONE WHICH WE INTEND TO WIN. PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY RICE UNIVERSITY, HOUSTON, SEPTEMBER 12, YEARS AGO HOUSTON ACCEPTED AN EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGE FROM OUR NATION AND WE DELIVERED. We are a city that chooses to take humankind s boldest challenges head-on. We ve grown, innovated and pioneered advancements in many fields of human endeavor. Along the way, we ve attracted energetic people from around the world and built a vibrant city that provides opportunity, recreation and community for all who share our vision. Still, we choose to measure ourselves on what we do next. Houston invites Amazon to partner with us in charting new frontiers to change the world.
3 HOUSTON WHERE INDUSTRY & INNOVATION CONVERGE Throughout Houston s journey, transformational ideas, driven by visionary leaders, have pushed boundaries. A man on the moon, the artificial heart and high-tech energy to name a few. Tomorrow s challenges present tremendous opportunity incredible problem-sets that converge in Houston across key sectors: energy, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and space. As a company looking 10, 20, 30 years down the road with a mission to change the world, Amazon will not find a more able and willing partner than Houston. We share your drive to embrace big, audacious opportunities with a can-do spirit and a passion to get things done. Houston is America s most ethnically diverse city. We are unabashedly pro-growth and opportunityrich, fueled by innovators and America s youngest workforce. We offer a highly-educated pool of STEM talent drawn from around the world, infused with the city s get-it-done mentality. We care for our neighbors and strive to create opportunity for all. With superior global access, a prime climate for doing business, a low cost of living, and a superb quality of life, Houston has the elements in place today to fuel our shared vision of sustainable growth and transformational innovation in the decades to come. Your timing couldn t be better. Our community is actively working to achieve our grand vision of becoming a top innovation hub in the next five years. Best of all, we have alignment a shared mindset across the business community, tech leaders and policy-makers and a plan to make it happen. Amazon is invited to locate at the geographic convergence of our innovation ecosystem Houston s Innovation Corridor. Extending from Rice University and the Texas Medical Center through Midtown and Downtown Houston, the Innovation Corridor is linked by light-rail and walkable neighborhoods. The Corridor features some of the city s best green spaces, universities, bike paths, sports and cultural amenities, nightlife, and housing. It s home to some of Houston s largest companies along with an emerging startup scene. Houston is prepared to offer sites in the Innovation Corridor that range from contiguous developable blocks to an entire building ready to be repurposed as the launch pad for Amazon HQ2. We are also offering an attractive incentive package including cash incentives, tax abatements, and inducements. Houston and Amazon are kindred spirits. We focus on getting results, not credit. WE THINK BIG, THEN WE DO IT. As the original city of disruption, we invite Amazon and your tenacious drive to join us in Houston.
4 AMAZON S HOME IN HOUSTON S INNOVATION CORRIDOR Amazon s HQ2 will sit at the center of an extraordinarily powerful social and economic convergence. Linked by light-rail, bike lanes, and sidewalks to Houston s four-mile-long Innovation Corridor, the campus offers easy access to key industry and institutional players and an unparalleled array of amenities. 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 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. The Corridor also features professional sports, countless museums, numerous parks and greenspaces, one of the largest theater districts in the country and a highly-acclaimed restaurant and nightlife scene. With proximity to a wide range of housing options, the Corridor already attracts top talent from around the globe. The Corridor is open for development, with numerous blocks available including large contiguous tracts in Midtown and Downtown that could be considered separately or as part of a single, extended campus. Simply put, the world converges in Houston and its Innovation Corridor. By partnering with us, Amazon will have access and new opportunities to change the world.

7 HOUSTON WHERE INDUSTRY & INNOVATION CONVERGE PROXIMITY IS KEY Houston is home to key global industries teeming with challenge and opportunity: energy, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and space. These are sectors ripe for disruption, representing some of the richest opportunity sets for Amazon and its innovators. Houston is the only city in the country where these industries converge. The sheer volumes of data that stream from these sectors is incredible, and the access Houston provides to leverage this data into game-changing solutions is unparalleled. Proximity is key and all of the players are here. THE ENERGY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD We are the city of energy entrepreneurs and wildcatters, uniquely positioned to provide a highly-qualified pipeline of talent to solve the world s energy challenges. We re applying datadriven analytics to improve efficiencies at the well head and pioneering advancements in robotics, battery technology and carbon sequestration. Amazonians can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with energy s leading experts and engineers to forge a sustainable course for our economy and the planet. THE WORLD S LARGEST MEDICAL CENTER Houston is home to the largest collection of healthcare and life science institutions in the world the Texas Medical Center. TMC is home to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Heart Institute and Baylor College of Medicine, among 55 other premier training, research and clinical institutions. It is the eighth largest business district in the U.S., employing more than 106,000 people. This high-density community and its developments are saving lives. Together, we can harness the power of digital health to further improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of healthcare delivery for all. HOUSTON IS THE ONLY CITY IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THESE INDUSTRIES CONVERGE. PROXIMITY IS KEY AND ALL OF THE PLAYERS ARE HERE AMAZON HQ2 WILL SIT AT THE NUCLEUS OF OUR CITY, IN DIRECT CONVERGENCE WITH: AMERICA S TOP MANUFACTURING CITY If it can be made, it can be made in Houston. Ranked as America s top manufacturing city by Manufacturers News for eight consecutive years, we have the talent, technology and infrastructure to get the job done. With the company s penchant for leveraging data to drive operational excellence along with your work in AI and automation, Amazon will find ample traction here. A LEADING GLOBAL LOGISTICS HUB With extensive land, air and sea connections, Houston is a key logistics hub and the gateway to the Americas and beyond. Here, Amazon HQ2 will sit at the nexus of global trade, offering tremendous opportunity for the company to disrupt this industry on a global scale. SPACE 2.0 Houston s aerospace roots are reflected in the critical mass of engineers, programmers and technical specialists capable of leading the next generation of space exploration, drone technologies, cutting-edge research facilities and product testing. America s space dreams launched at Rice University in our Innovation Corridor and continue just 25 minutes away at the Johnson Space Center as the ecosystem embraces the race for Space 2.0.
8 TOP TALENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD AMERICA S MOST DIVERSE CITY The New York Times calls Houston America s Most Diverse City. Houston has no ethnic majority and welcomes people from around the world. One-in-four Houstonians was born outside of the United States. It has been said that in terms of racial and ethnic composition, the Houston of today resembles what America will look like in 40 years. 1.8% 7.6% 16.9% Houston MSA, 2016 U.S.A., % 9.1% 13.0% Population Distribution Hispanic Asian White Other Black Amazon will find the skilled talent it needs in Houston, which is America s most diverse city and features a well-educated, STEM-focused workforce. The city is home to nationally ranked university campuses and graduate schools, including three Tier One Universities Rice University, University of Houston and Texas A&M University. It s also important to remember that the University of Texas at Austin is just 2.5 hours away. As a company in the business of industry disruption, Amazon can partner with the technical engineers and talent in our legacy industries to drive innovation forward. Houston is home to 240,000 STEM specialists and consistently ranks first or second as the top city for the number of STEM workers and the highest concentration of engineers. While not traditionally considered a computer and software development powerhouse, the fact is Houston is home to 97,500 computer engineers and programmers. This figure ranks Houston eleventh in the country and 50 percent more than Austin, which is conventionally perceived as a tech-forward city. Houston is also a talent attraction magnet. Ranked as a top city for attracting millennials, no major metro attracts more baccalaureatedegreed professionals, on a per-capita basis, than Houston. 36.9% 36.8% 43.6% 28.6% As the energy capital of the world and home to the some of the largest global corporations, Houstonians are comfortable working with global teams. As a global city, more than 145 languages are spoken here. In fact, four-in-ten Houstonians speak a language other than English at home. This is a fact that shows up in the Houston Independent School District s dual-language programs that offer immersive-instruction in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and several other languages. There is a richness to the fabric of Houston you will not find in many other cities. You will discover that Houstonians have a sense of shared community, commitment and mutual respect that many American cities are searching for today. As Amazon seeks to diversify and expand its ranks at the executive, manager and professional levels, there is no better place to locate than Houston.
9 FOSTERING HOUSTON S STARTUP ECOSYSTEM While a center of corporate and institutional innovation in areas such as energy, space, and life sciences, Houston has lagged in VC-backed startup activity. Over the last few years, this paradigm has started to shift. Leveraging Houston s large supply of young talent and our community s entrepreneurial mindset, a host of accelerators and co-working spaces have launched including Station Houston, TMCx, TMC, AT&T Foundry, University of Houston s RED Labs, Rice s Owl Spark and Fannin Innovation Studio. These hubs of innovation are creating momentum and building density for more startups. Station Houston, for example, is focused on bringing diverse elements of Houston s innovation ecosystem together under one roof to help launch high-impact, highgrowth companies. Station Houston has already attracted over 260 startups, accelerators and incubators into its fold. Houston technology and civic leaders also brought several organizations together recently to form Houston Exponential (HX). HX will service as a hub, catalyst and champion for the startup community with a focus on three cross-vertical themes: robotics, industrial IoT and cybersecurity. HX recently announced the formation of the HX Venture Fund, a fund of funds to help attract more VC capital and investor interest to Houston.
10 THE GATEWAY TO COMMERCE GREAT BUSINESS CLIMATE Whether it s moving people or products, Houston will be Amazon s gateway to the Americas and the world. Positioned equidistant to the east and west coasts, we provide easy access to every major city in the U.S. We also offer the most flights of any U.S. city to Mexico and direct access to Latin America. Amazonians can fly internationally from our two airports both within 25 minutes of Amazon HQ2. Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and Hobby (HOU) Airports serve daily non-stop flights to more than 190 destinations and direct flights to 69 international cities. Houston will also be the southern terminus of the Texas Central Railway, the privatelyfinanced high speed rail line currently under development that will connect Houston and Dallas with a 90-minute commute. And with the Port of Houston being America s number one export seaport, and with ample rail and highway access, Houston is the perfect conduit to move both goods and people. AUSTRALIA, CANADA, CHINA, FRANCE, GERMANY, JAPAN, MEXICO & THE UNITED KINGDOM A PREMIER STATE Through pro-growth policy, smart regulation and a favorable tax regime, Texas has emerged as the premier state for expansion and relocation. We are a right-to-work state and have no corporate or personal income tax. The City of Houston has set priorities of its own to support growth and innovation. The City has no local minimum wage, permitting is fast and friendly, and the cost of doing business in Houston is well-below the U.S. major metro average. Because of our business-friendly climate, Houston has emerged as one of the nation s preeminent centers for corporate headquarters and back office facilities. Twenty Fortune 500 companies call Houston home. Between 2010 and 2016, greater Houston grew by more than 850,000 people to 6.7 million, and the regional economy (real GDP) grew by 18.7 percent.
