Innovation Zones Survey

The City of San Antonio, CPS Energy, San Antonio Water System, VIA, the San Antonio Housing Authority and the San Antonio River Authority formed a partnership called SmartSA to leverage new technologies and data to improve the quality of life for all. Our SmartSA vision is to be a connected, inclusive and resilient community supporting a high quality of life.

This year, SmartSA partners established three Innovation Zones: Brooks, Downtown and the Medical Center. The purpose of each zone is to:

  1. Identify the biggest challenges in each zone
  2. Test new processes and technologies in a real-world setting

We want to know what challenges you face whether you live, work or play in any of the three designated Innovation Zones. Your input will help SmartSA develop new innovative technologies to address your challenges.

SMARTSA SANDBOX

SmartSA Sandbox is a family-friendly smart cities event hosted by SmartSA and the City of San Antonio. It's an outdoor, festival-style event that is an interactive space for residents to:

  • Get informed about SmartSA, smart cities, and the pilot projects upcoming or underway in their Innovation Zone, and how they can continue to be involved,
  • Imagine, explore, and question the role new technologies play in San Antonio neighborhoods,
  • Discover connections between smart city technologies and data by providing hands-on activities involving pilot technologies,
  • Explore local innovation featuring innovative programs, services and opportunities offered by partners in each Innovation Zone,
  • Identify new opportunities for future SmartSA pilot projects.
