Texas is recognised as a global hub for energy, with the city of Houston also a centre for medical research and international business. The Consulate-General is primarily focused on attracting productive foreign direct investment to Australia, with a particular emphasis on resources and energy, medtech, biotech, defence, cyber security, agribusiness and food. Promoting Australia’s education and research links and seeking out major opportunities for Australian companies in these sectors is also a priority.
