31 Oct Year One & Done!
Today is the end of CivTechSA’s Year One! Who can believe it??
It’s almost shocking to think we started this program only last year. As we’ve built out this program, we’ve seen staggering engagement and innovative ideas come from our talented communities.
Our mission is to connect students, entrepreneurs, and startups with the City of San Antonio to solve community challenges and develop tech talent in San Antonio.
You better believe we have!
This Program has taken off like a rocket ship as we’ve tapped into local talent pools and communities to get their insight on how to build a city of problem solvers.
