As part of a grand five-year plan, the city’s economic and workforce development group, Greater SATX, has just returned from an exciting trip to Europe, marking the launch of its first economic development mission of 2025.
Exploring Europe
The team from Greater SATX embarked on an adventurous journey to Paris, France, among other stops, where they delved into the vibrant European business landscape. This trip wasn’t just for sightseeing; the objective was clear: to build connections that could potentially lead to big investments in San Antonio.
Creating Quality Jobs
By attracting international companies to San Antonio, Greater SATX aims to stimulate quality job creation and provide fantastic growth opportunities for local residents. More jobs mean more stability and a better economy for everyone, and that’s a win-win! This aligns with the organization’s track record, as it successfully secured over 5,000 new jobs and a staggering $1.7 billion in new capital investment just last year alone.
Learning from Success
During the mission, the representatives from Greater SATX also took the time to learn about the San Antonio Spurs and how the beloved basketball team plays a vital role in the city’s growth. The Spurs are more than just a sports team—they’re an integral part of what makes San Antonio a fantastic place to live and work.
Building Relationships
One of the key takeaways from the European adventure was the importance of forging strong relationships with international businesses. These connections are essential for promoting economic diversification in San Antonio. By maintaining open lines of communication with European companies, Greater SATX can foster an environment where investments flourish, helping locals thrive in various industries.
A Bright Future Ahead
The journey to Europe wasn’t just about building relationships; it was about planting seeds for the future. With plans to keep in touch with potential investors and European businesses looking to expand into the U.S., the organization is working hard to place San Antonio at the forefront as a prime destination for international business.
A Community Effort
This mission is a community effort, with the potential to benefit everyone in San Antonio. The aim is not only to bring businesses into the area but also to enhance the quality of life for residents by creating job opportunities in various sectors. In a world where economic shifts happen rapidly, having a diverse economy is crucial.
Final Thoughts

The team’s efforts to attract global investments could lead to a brand-new chapter for San Antonio, turning it into a hot spot for jobs and growth.
