Are you starting or growing your technology business in Tampa Bay?
Are you looking for resources and other support?
If so, the recently published Tampa Bay Innovation Ecosystem Map might be useful. A group of support organizations, led by the Innovation District and fueled by a grant from Duke Energy, developed this map in 2023. The group recognized that funding, coaching, partnerships, etc. available can depend on the company’s stage of growth, industry focus, target customers, or founder background. For entrepreneurs, this network of support organizations can be challenging to navigate. The hope is that this map helps direct entrepreneurs to the best possible resources. The map was developed through surveys and interviews of over 100 support organizations - a special thanks to all of them for assisting!

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.
