Join Jim Perschbach as he shares how Port San Antonio is driving transformational growth in our region by leveraging cutting-edge technology, innovation, and strategic partnerships. Learn how the Port is positioning San Antonio as a global leader in aerospace, cybersecurity, robotics, and advanced manufacturing—creating new opportunities and strengthening our community’s economic future.

Presenter Bio - 

Perschbach leads the team that is developing the 1,900-acre Tech Port innovation campus as a nationally important destination for advanced technologies, including aerospace, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure resiliency, defense, manufacturing and global trade.

The Port is one of South Texas’ fastest-growing economic engines—home to over 80 tenant customers and their 18,000 employees, which generate a regional economic impact of over $5.6 billion annually, according to a 2018 study by the Texas Comptroller.

In addition to his work at the Port, Perschbach serves his community in numerous leadership roles. Currently, he serves on the board of Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) and is also a member of the Texas Advanced Air Mobility Committee—a statewide body supporting the development of legislation and policies that support the implementation of emerging air transportation technologies across the state.

Perschbach is also Board Chair of the Kelly Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports innovative K-12 learning programs and adult workforce development efforts centered in the San Antonio region’s advanced technologies.

He has also been named by the American Business Journals as one of the country’s top 100 executives to watch.

Perschbach holds an undergraduate degree in business administration from The George Washington University and earned his law degree from The University of Houston Law Center.
