Business Briefs Summer 2025

This summer has been an exciting and productive season for Bay Area Houston and I am proud to reflect on the tremendous progress we have made together. We have welcomed new members to the organization, expanded our partnerships across the state, and are currently involved in twenty-nine economic development projects throughout the region. Varying across a number of industries, each new member strengthens our collective voice and helps us build the relationships that fuel our mission.

I am excited to share that BAHEP has assumed leadership of the Texas Aerospace Scholars (TAS) program for the FY2026-2027 biennium. This partnership with San Jacinto College, NASA Johnson Space Center and the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), will help build the next generation of engineers and highly skilled workforce in Houston and throughout Texas.

BAHEP is also working on another project with TEES and the U.S. Department of War to introduce Smart Manufacturing technologies to manufacturers across the region. Our goal is to help local companies learn more about how tools like artificial intelligence, automation, and datadriven systems can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen competitiveness in today’s manufacturing environment.

Protecting our coastline remains an important endeavor as we continue our advocacy and support for the Gulf Coast Protection District and the Coastal Texas Project to provide storm surge protection. Additionally, we are supporting the creation of new jobs in the region by hosting foreign delegations interested in relocating their companies to the U.S.

As we look ahead, I am confident that the momentum we’ve built this summer will continue to drive us forward. Together, we are shaping the vibrant Bay Area community where industry, academia, non-profit, and government thrive side by side, creating opportunities that will benefit generations to come

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s keep working together to ensure a prosperous future for Bay Area Houston.

Sincerely,

Brian Freedman President

When speaking about the NASA budget, Senator Cruz stated, “it is my job to fight for 31 million Texans, and it is the job of an elected official to lay out a vision and big objectives. And so going to Mars is United States policy, that is the objective.”

Workforce Development

Texas Aerospace Scholars, New BAHEP Special Initiative

BAHEP is excited to partner with NASA Johnson Space Center, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), and San Jacinto College District to support program delivery of a new BAHEP initiative, Texas Aerospace Scholars (TAS) Program.

Entering its 27th year, TAS is a statefunded program that promotes STEM education and workforce development across Texas. BAHEP now oversees TAS program management, while San Jacinto College executes program implementation. TEES continues to provide strategic oversight, and NASA provides additional internal support. Maddy Monaco, who has held the role of program coordinator for three years, has joined the BAHEP team to continue overseeing TAS.

Its flagship program, High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS), offers a free, year-long experience for high-school juniors beginning with a five-month online course focused on NASA missions, space exploration, earth science, and aeronautics. Students who pass the online course are invited to a virtual

summer experience, Moonshot, where they collaborate on an Artemis-themed design challenge with NASA mentors. Top -performing teams earn an all-expenses paid week-long residential visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

BayTech: High Demand Hidden Careers

The Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership collaborated with the Bay Area Houston Advanced Technology Consortium (BayTech) on a Texas Workforce Commission grant to train and certify eligible residents as research administrators. The grant successfully concluded on August 31, 2025 with 28 total participants enrolled in the High Demand Hidden Careers (HDHC) program.

Through partnerships with six medical institutions: Houston Methodist Academic Institute (HMAI), University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), UTHealth-Houston Rice University, University of Houston (UH), and TIRR Memorial Hermann (TIRRMH), the HDHC program combined online coursework, professional networking, and internships to candidates. In total, 28 participants were enrolled in the internship program, 6 have found full-

time employment, and the remaining interns are actively seeking employment.

BayTech applied for a second year of grant funding, but the grant extension was not selected. BayTech plans to apply for a new Texas Workforce Commission grant next spring for FY2027.
