2022 San Antonio Bootcamps

As a city, San Antonio is committed to the growth of technology. This is evident with the innovation center approved to be built this year at Port San Antonio. Port San Antonio is a tech center located on over 1,900 acres with over 80 companies and over 14,000 employees. Industries included at The Port are cybersecurity, aerospace, global logistics, defense, education, robotics, and manufacturing. The new innovation center will be a 130,000 square foot technology campus.

The new center will host a technology museum, a maker-space lab, and a gaming arena for competitions, training, launches, conferences, and more. The Port, and now the Innovation Center, will continue to grow San Antonio’s thriving tech ecosystem, which has seen significant growth in the last year.

Bootcamp graduates will continue to see a demand for tech workers as the city continues to grow and become a competitive tech center. Tech companies are growing at unprecedented speeds for the city because of their out-of-the-box thinking. For example, Blue Duck Scooters has created an electrical scooter transportation program that allows for reservations, tracking, and more through a mobile app. Silotech Group is providing IT solutions for companies that range from small to large including cloud and cyber services. Wellaware is another business that is geared towards industries such as healthcare and oil that need to monitor safety equipment They also help control chemical allocations and air purifications for companies like BP and Citgo. These innovative companies are only a few of the tech businesses that need tech workers from back-end development of websites and apps to front-end development.

Additionally, the need for cybersecurity is growing in the city to protect everything from apps to robotics to military intelligence. San Antonio’s Chamber of Commerce reports that its city is the second largest cyber hub in the country. It is also the home of the largest Department of Defense joint base in the country. The chamber works to continue its strong cybersecurity presence through the CyberSecurity San Antonio Program by creating partnerships between military and government agencies, community programs, startups, and tech companies. Approximately 40 cyber companies are headquartered here with many more that have offices and a presence in the city. Companies include Def-Logix, Denim Group, Secure Apps, Northrop Grumman, Oracle, Cisco, Verizon, and Lockheed Martin. These companies focus on cybersecurity, software development, communications, aerospace engineering, and more. This varied tech landscape is exciting and encouraging for bootcamp graduates and the opportunities that await.
