Bexar County is no longer just participating in innovation. We are shaping it. Building companies. Building careers. And building the future of San Antonio.
San Antonio’s innovation community came together yesterday for Tech Day. Rain or shine, San Antonio showed up in full force!
Our theme, “Made in San Antonio / Hecho en San Antonio,” was about recognizing the founders, builders, intrapreneurs, investors, students, professors, and leaders helping shape the future of our city.
We had a packed room, meaningful conversations, and strong energy throughout the day. Across startups, capital, aerospace, bioscience, big enterprise, and AI, one thing was clear: San Antonio’s momentum is real.
It was also exciting to see organizations like @bexarecd@techbloc , @velocitytx , @geekdomsa , @port_san_antonio , and the @greatersachamber@devsatx@vemos.vamos come together to help push the momentum forward and continue building a stronger innovation ecosystem, one that breaks down silos and builds bridges.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, supported the event, and helped make Tech Day such a success. Big shoutout to 434 Media for producing this event! The future of San Antonio’s innovation economy is not something we wait for, it’s something we build together.
