Bpifrance, France’s largest investment bank and most influential economic institution, helped bring the French delegation to the event in order to find solutions to some of the current challenges facing the energy industry. The event was a direct result of Judge Hidalgo’s trade mission to Paris last summer, where she met with Bpifrance at their headquarters in Paris.
“Harris County is an energy capital of the world, and I’m proud that we’re leading the way in forming global partnerships that will move the energy industry forward. We can’t control what’s going to happen in Venezuela or Iran, but what we can do is bring leaders together from all over the globe to drive innovation and find solutions that will move the energy industry, and Harris County, forward. That’s what we started in Paris, and we’re continuing these efforts during CERAWeek,” said Judge Hidalgo.
In addition to promoting global cooperation, Judge Hidalgo also highlighted Harris County’s role as an energy capital of the world and as a growing hub for the manufacturing of AI data centers. Building on the investments Harris County has already received from major companies like Apple and Inventec, Judge Hidalgo encouraged energy leaders to consider Harris County as a site for investment and innovation.
