Knowmadics’ Remarkable Growth in Round Rock: A Hub for Defense Innovation

Knowmadics is setting new standards in national defense innovation, with both the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and Round Rock’s business-friendly climate fueling its impressive growth. Knowmadics is a high-growth technology company with a cybersecurity focus specializing in software, integrated solutions and training for the defense sector. They selected Round Rock for an expansion two years ago with the support of the Round Rock Chamber. Knowmadics has benefited from Texas’ business-friendly climate and the region’s supportive ecosystem. The community’s blend of skilled talent, world-class academic institutions, and forward-thinking commercial sector has given Knowmadics a critical edge in securing non-dilutive SBIR funding to advance projects in artificial intelligence (AI), electronic warfare (EW), advanced visualization, cyber, and space operations.

With Round Rock as a strategic base, Knowmadics has achieved a 100% conversion rate, advancing all five of its Phase 1 SBIR awards to Phase 2. Additionally, they have secured two direct-to-Phase 2 awards and one Phase 3 award in the same period. These contracts drive impactful, defense-focused R&D, strengthening their role in the national security sector. This success has led to a 300% increase in company size since establishing a footprint in Texas, underscoring the exceptional environment that Round Rock offers to innovative tech companies.

For small businesses aiming to grow through government R&D initiatives, the Round Rock Chamber provides the resources, connections, and community needed to succeed and the SBIR program provides a pathway to grow. The Round Rock Chamber is ready to support business expansion and foster opportunities.
