2026 marks a milestone for the St. Pete Innovation District: a decade of ideas, partnerships, and progress that will shape the future of our city.
What began as a bold vision — to merge research, talent, entrepreneurship, and community — has grown into a nationally recognized thought leadership hub that fuels discovery, drives economic growth, and improves quality of life.
At the heart of the District are world-class academic, industry, government, and nonprofit partners advancing breakthroughs in marine science, life sciences, national security, and technology. These organizations attract talent, expand research capacity, and create solutions with real-world impact.
Over the past ten years, the District has become a living laboratory for what’s possible when we come together with a shared purpose. As we launch our next decade of impact, we invite you to join us.
Individual and organization memberships are available.
