Bioscience Ecosystem in San Antonio

San Antonio’s healthcare and bioscience industries are credited with an annual economic impact of $44B, and account for nearly one-fifth of all local jobs. Just as critical to the city’s economy, however, is the industry for which San Antonio has become synonymous.

Long known as Military City, USA, San Antonio is home to the largest joint base in the US Department of Defense, with a robust medical ecosystem all its own. Indeed, the city boasts 10 military treatment facilities (MTF’s), 12,000 clinical staff, 37 graduate medical education programs with nearly 600 residents, four critical care air transport teams, a burn flight team, and the DOD’s only Level 1 Trauma Center.

VelocityTX serves as a critical connector between San Antonio’s academic, industry, and military medical partners to promote bioscience innovation and accelerate the process by which emerging medical technologies can be leveraged by America’s Warfighters.
