The St. Pete Innovation District is excited to announce the release of our new website. The new site offers a fresh new look and easier navigation into our community. We are using a responsive design which means you will find the same information and essentially the same look whether you’re using your desktop, tablet or smart phone!
Explore our site and enjoy learning about the Innovation District including the six pillars around which we organize our efforts: marine science, life science, data & technology, art, education, and entrepreneurship. We are particularly excited about the new section featuring our initiatives including the Ocean Team, Youth STEAM, and Smart Cities.
The site contains integrated social media buttons for Blog, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram to foster improved communication with the everyone. We will be constantly updating our content with helpful information, articles, blogs, partnership announcements and collaborations.
We are sure that in the new website you will find all the information that you need. You can reach us to share feedback or ask a question via the Contact Us page on the site: https://www.stpeteinnovationdistrict.com/.

Last month, the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub kicked off the school year with a lively Retro Back-to-School themed Happy Hour. Tenants brought their families, and the space was filled with throwback snacks, classic laser backdrop photo ops, and plenty of nostalgic fun.

October always feels like conference season — a time when professionals from around the world gather to exchange ideas, explore emerging trends, and strengthen collaborations. Earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending and speaking at the OCEANS 2025 Conference in Chicago, a global gathering for those advancing ocean science and maritime technology.
