Greater San Marcos Partnership President Adriana Cruz and Texas State University President Denise Trauth highlighted the region’s growing innovation at the Greater San Marcos Innovation Summit on Wednesday.
Cruz discussed the strength of the Greater San Marcos area, while Trauth showcased the Texas State’s growth. Mike Georgoff — chief product officer of H-E-B Digital — delivered the keynote address. The Innovation Summit also featured a panel discussion with John Kinzer, president and CEO of Visionary Fiber Technologies, and Scott Dunn, CEO of Urban Mining Company. The GSMP also awarded Visionary Fiber Technologies its Dick Burdick Award for Innovation at Wednesday’s event.
“Innovation is thriving here deep in the heart of the Texas innovation corridor between our two neighbors to the north and south — Austin and San Antonio,” Cruz told a crowd of approximately 150 attendees at this year’s summit held at the City of San Marcos Conference Center at Embassy Suites. “You don’t have to look far to find evidence of innovation that’s developing in our region. You’ll find it at Texas State University, an emerging research institution that continues to drive our regional economy and produce an educated and productive workforce that is second to none.
