San Antonio’s newest companies, Scorpion Biological Services and Soli Organic, are solving complex problems within their industries, right here in San Antonio.

Scorpion Biological Services:
Scorpion Biological Services recently announced the Grand Opening of its new state-of-the-art facility in SATX. The fully-integrated contract research and contract development & manufacturing organization is focused on the development of biologic drugs.
“The facility will be at the forefront of American biomanufacturing”

Soli Organic is the nation’s only soil-based, indoor farming company delivering 100% USDA certified organic produce. This month, they announced the building a high-tech, automated indoor farm and packing facility in the Brooks community in SATX
The facility has 100,000 square feet of growing capacity and 40,000 additional square feet of processing space. Soli Organic’s innovation lies in their ability to grow in a denser and deeper six-level tray structure, that more efficiently uses horizontal and vertical space to drive higher yields.
