國家產業 - 國際經濟特區發展集團

The launch of Aim’s North American headquarters in the Houston Economic Zone marks a strategic move to deepen our presence in the heart of industry and connect with the global arteries of manufacturing and energy. As one of the leading industrial hubs in the United States, Houston is rapidly emerging as a vital center for industrial transformation and international investment, thanks to its robust energy foundation, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and highly efficient logistics network.

​

Strong Industrial Base

Houston is a key city in the U.S. for energy, manufacturing, and engineering, long known as the “Energy Capital of the World.” It boasts a complete industrial chain encompassing oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, and heavy industries, attracting numerous engineering and equipment manufacturing enterprises. The economic zone focuses on smart manufacturing, high-end processing, and energy technologies—injecting modern momentum into traditional sectors. It serves as an ideal springboard for industrial enterprises seeking to expand into the North American market.

​

Geographic and Infrastructure Advantages

Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Houston is home to one of the busiest inland ports in the U.S.—the Port of Houston. Combined with an extensive network of highways, railroads, and international airports, this creates a highly efficient transportation and supply chain system. As a key node linking the Latin American market and supporting industrial integration across the southern and central U.S., Houston is especially well-suited for logistics-intensive and export-oriented businesses.

​

Pro-Business Policies and Tax Competitiveness

Texas offers one of the most attractive tax environments in the country, with no state income tax and low corporate tax rates. Local governments actively promote the development of economic zones, offering support through land, facilities, and innovation funding. The City of Houston works closely with private organizations to implement dedicated investment programs in energy technology, advanced manufacturing, and heavy engineering, helping foreign businesses land smoothly and launch operations seamlessly.

​

Technology and Talent Support

Supported by top technical universities like Rice University and the University of Houston, the region produces a strong pipeline of skilled engineering, tech, and industrial management talent. The economic zone also collaborates with local technical colleges and vocational training centers to build robust industry-academia linkages, ensuring a stable supply of high-quality, mid- to high-level technical labor for businesses.

​

A Platform for Sustainable Industrial Upgrading

Houston is accelerating its transition from a traditional energy city to a base for green industry and clean technologies. From hydrogen energy and carbon capture to smart factories and circular manufacturing, the industrial upgrading strategies promoted within the economic zone are creating new growth pathways for traditional industries. These efforts not only enhance the city’s long-term competitiveness but also enable investors to seize golden opportunities amid the global decarbonization trend.

​

With its strong industrial foundation, comprehensive infrastructure, and investment-friendly environment, the Houston Economic Zone provides a strategically valuable base for global manufacturing and engineering enterprises. As Aim’s North American headquarters prepares to launch, Houston will not only serve as the starting point for entering the North American market—it will also become a core engine connecting global manufacturing, innovation, and sustainable development.
