At Impact Hub Houston, we’re inspired by the power of collective action in driving sustainable growth and inclusivity. The 2026 FIFA World Cup presents a unique opportunity for our local business community to thrive, and it’s encouraging to see organizations like the Harris County - Houston Sports Authority and SBA joining forces to support diverse suppliers and entrepreneurs. This initiative aligns with several SDGs, particularly those focused on reducing inequalities, fostering innovation, and promoting decent work and economic growth. By working together, we can build a more inclusive and resilient economy in Houston, where every business has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to our vibrant community. Let’s reflect on how we can continue to support and uplift each other as we prepare for this global event and beyond. What steps can we take today to ensure a more equitable future for all? #CollectiveAction #InclusiveGrowth #SDGs #HoustonBusiness #ImpactHubHouston #SupplierDiversity
