Editor's note: For SXSW 2021, the Greater Houston Partnership produced two days of interviews and panels hosted by me — Natalie Harms, editor of InnovationMap — and focused on Houston innovation. One focused on how Houston is leading the energy transition and the other highlighted Houston's progress on creating a thriving and inclusive innovation ecosystem.

In this video, Mayor Sylvester Turner gives an update on how the innovation ecosystem has developed over his tenure. Visit our SXSW Houston House special section to watch them all.
