AUSTIN, Texas (KAUZ) – Governor Greg Abbott has proclaimed the week of October 13-17, 2025, as Chamber of Commerce Week in Texas.
“Texas’ thriving entrepreneurial spirit is the driving force behind our state’s economic success. A vital component of the Texas economy, chambers of commerce significantly impact Texas workers and small business owners by connecting people with valuable resources, fostering business growth and expansion, and enhancing workforce development opportunities. The important work of these chambers strengthens local businesses of all sizes and helps build a bigger, better Texas.”
Texas chambers of commerce represent 99.8% of all Texas businesses including 3.5 million small businesses, and employ nearly half of all working Texans.
The business growth and expansion that they support assisted Texas in taking home the Governor’s Cup from Site Selection earlier this year, which recognizes the nation’s top-performing state for job-creating business relocations and expansions.
