FIO Demo Day at the Hub

This month, innovation met the water. We were proud to host an FIO Demo Day at the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub.

‍

Participating companies showcased what the future of ocean and maritime innovation can look like.

‍

  • ThermoAI brought Wingman AI where edge sensors keep watch over machinery.
  • LeVanta Tech showed up with a triangular float that can launch a drone into the sky.
  • Voltaic Marine dropped an autonomous surface vehicle into the water and let it do the driving.
  • Space-Eyes rolled out MORPHEUS, a counter-UAS platform built to take on hostile drones.

‍

Thank you to the organizations that made this day possible: University of South Florida, USF St. Petersburg, Florida Institute of Oceanography, and Navy SBIR/STTR.

‍

And thank you to ViDMO, based at The University of Southern Mississippi, Southern Miss College of Business and Economic Development, and the Southern Miss School of Leadership, for capturing the day.
