Texas Concilium, Inc. is a nonprofit economic development organization based in Texas, United States. Founded in July 2015, the organization provides statewide business improvement services through advisory programs and educational initiatives. It was recognized by the Texas State Legislature in 2017 for "fostering strength in Texas businesses" and works with manufacturers and distributors across the state to improve profit margins, optimize supply chains, reduce waste, and enhance marketing and retention strategies.[1][2]

Texas Concilium engages in Blue Ribbon Commissions and policy discussions with political leaders on business and trade matters.[3] It is affiliated with the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and TMAC programs of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which deliver services through seven partner institutions across Texas. The organization has experience in areas such as revenue growth, cash flow management, succession planning, and leadership development.[4]

In 2019, Texas Concilium launched the Business Excellence Award to honor businesses and individuals demonstrating innovation, operational excellence, and integrity. The inaugural award was presented to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Subsequent recipients have included Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP, WebCE, and Methodist Health System.[1]
