The overview
Starting in March, the summit series will take place in 15 cities across Texas, according to a Jan. 22 news release from Abbott’s office.
The summit aims to help small business owners and those interested in starting a business to connect them with resources and support.

“Small businesses are the driving force behind the Texas economy,” Abbott said in the news release. “With more than 3.3 million small businesses across Texas, employing nearly half of all working Texans, our state continues to lead the nation in small-business growth and as the best state to start a business.”
