Boeing partners with ASM Global at Tech Port Center and Arena in Texas

A new partnership between Boeing and the Kelly Heritage Foundation – an educational non-profit organisation affiliated with Port San Antonio, on whose behalf ASM Global manages Tech Port Center + Arena – is designed to expand STEM learning and workforce development across South Texas. The seven-year partnership and $2.3m investment in the region’s STEM talent includes working with the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology (SAMSAT), headquartered at the Port’s tech campus. Boeing has entered into a separate agreement with ASM Global to rename the Tech Port Center + Arena, a 130,000-square-foot multipurpose exhibition centre, as the Boeing Center at Tech Port. It has also signed a seven-year sponsorship agreement of the Center. ASM Global CEO and president Ron Bension said, “The newly anointed Boeing Center at Tech Port is the only place on earth where entertainment and education intersect in such a bold fashion. Innovators of all ages will connect and create the technologies of the future in dedicated ideation labs and coworking spaces, among other offerings in the facility. And thrill-seekers will light up the Boeing Center at Tech Port, which will host premier e-sports and live entertainment events.” “Developing a highly skilled, diverse workforce for tomorrow requires an investment in one of Texas’ most valuable assets – students throughout our communities. I’m thankful for Boeing’s commitment to our state and can’t wait to see the next generation benefit from STEM educational experiences that will result from this partnership,” said Texas governor Greg Abbott during a ceremony at SAMSAT announcing the partnership.
