In any business community, progress takes place because a group of dedicated people are making things happen.  For 25 years, the Houston Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce has been the organization that motivates, organizes and directs the efforts in our business community.

The Chamber of Commerce has the responsibility of nurturing the current and future economic well-being of the area by preserving our business systems and promoting business growth and development for the businesses in the greater Houston area.  The common thread is an interest in making our community more economically prosperous and a good place to do business. Members work together to focus on Economic Development, Transportation, Workforce Development, Legislative Advocacy, Public Safety and Beautification of the Area.  There will always be challenges and opportunities which an individual business cannot possibly solve alone, but by working with others, pooling time and resources, important accomplishments can and are being made.

The Houston ICC members range from small entrepreneurs to Fortune 500 companies.  The membership of approximately 500 companies/businesses consists of thousands of employees.  Just 18 of our corporate members compile a workforce of over 16,000 employee-members. 

The Center for Business Development

A partnership between Houston Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce, the Lone Star College System – North Harris , the Small Business Development Center and the North Houston Economic Development Council has created what is known as the Center for Business Development (CBD), located in the chamber offices.  The CBD hosts each of the above partners as well as a business incubator and training and conference rooms for use by Houston ICC members and area businesses.  The CBD facilities have been utilized by over 50 member companies and organizations  and over 100 potential and beginning new businesses have received consultations.

We encourage you to make an investment for YOUR business and for the future of Houston by joining the Houston Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce, as we work together to enhance the area in which we live, work, and play.
