The largest city in the Rio Grande Valley came to be known as the “Crossroads of the Hemisphere” as it connected the United States to the gateways of Latin America and beyond. Today the second most historic city in Texas is the Gateway of the Future, as the only city in the world that hosts 5 methods of international trade: air, sea, road, rail and space.

From shovel-ready sites, a well-trained bilingual workforce, and an open and inclusive ecosystem of entrepreneurship, Brownsville is a major industrial and manufacturing center. The city’s well-developed infrastructure, interconnected transportation network, and unsurpassed quality of life – including over 100 miles of hiking and biking infrastructure – make it a major tourism, international trade, and logistics hub.
