Houston Startup Week

November 8–12, 2021




WHAT IS HOUSTON STARTUP WEEK?

Houston Startup Week is a FREE 5-day celebration Houston’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem, hosted by the community, for the community.

From new faces and curious minds to established entrepreneurs and community leaders, HSW is for EVERYONE. Everyone who wants to make an impact. Everyone who wants to transform their industry. Everyone who wants to learn, grow, develop, and collaborate. Everyone who is a part of the fabric that strengthens our city’s startup community.

For the first time since 2016, Houston joins TechStars and the global Startup Week alliance inviting you to be a part of the re-boot of Houston Startup Week. Make history with us! If you’d like to be a Sponsor, Community Partner, Event Organizer, or play another role in HSW 2021, please contact Grace Rodriguez at Impact Hub Houston.

HOW IS HSW 2021 DIFFERENT?

This year, Houston Startup Week will be held during Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), a worldwide campaign that started in 2008 to inspire young people to make their mark, but has quickly grown to become a comprehensive effort that engages entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, researchers, support organizations and others collaborating to advance economic growth and innovation in more than 180+ countries around the world. 

In the past, Impact Hub Houston hosted THIS: The Houston Innovation Summit to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week; but is pivoting THIS to occur during the Spring.

CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP WEEK?

As we look ahead to the serious work of rebooting our communities and our economies for a better, more sustainable and equitable post-pandemic world, Global Entrepreneurship Week allows us to bring together our region’s stakeholders and think about how we can empower nascent entrepreneurs and those who face systemic barriers to starting and scaling their own companies. Through GEW, we focus on four distinct theme areas to spotlight impactful voices and organizations — as well as inspiring activities — that are helping empower entrepreneurs everywhere:

EDUCATION. ECOSYSTEMS. INCLUSION. POLICY.
