Software & Technology
The software and technology industry sector is driven by Ogden’s local, homegrown technology companies and the growth of the defense-tech industry emanating from Hill AFB. Ogden’s homegrown software and technology sector includes businesses from multiple industries in various stages. Local software and technology companies provide services to businesses down the street and around the world are a key component in the City’s economy.
As the Air Force continues to invest in and implement advanced software and technology to support their mission and systems, the defense-tech sector has grown in Ogden. Two software initiatives out of Hill AFB are based at the Startup Ogden coworking space: SkiCAMP and EDDGE Advanced Development. These two initiatives perform software development for various programs at Hill AFB, with a focus on user-centered design and DevSecOps.
