The Hub recently hosted the 4th Annual Pinellas County Defense Networking Forum, bringing together defense contractors, government partners, and industry leaders from across the region for a day focused on collaboration, innovation, and strengthening the local defense technology ecosystem.
This year’s forum marked the largest registration in the event’s history, reflecting the continued growth and momentum of Pinellas County’s defense and maritime industries.
A highlight of the event was remarks from Scott Pickens, who addressed the crowd on the importance of the maritime industry and its growing role in the region’s economy and innovation landscape.
The event reinforced The Hub’s role as a convening space for strategic industries and partnerships that drive economic growth and regional collaboration.
spARK Labs by ARK Invest was recognized at our 10x10 Celebration in April for being a place where founders and entrepreneurs gather to shape what the world has yet to imagine.
This month, innovation met the water. We were proud to host an FIO Demo Day at the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub.
A special kudos to Casico Creative, led by founder Cassandra Bernard, on its recent launch as a marketing firm!
