We had to postpone this event due to the hurricanes. We are excited to have a new date - Friday, November 22 at 8:00am at USF St. Pete.
Imagine a day when you jump in an electronic, autonomous air taxi in St. Pete and head to Tampa International Airport or even to Orlando. This concept is not as far off as you would imagine. The Federal Aviation Administration is currently considering guidance for this type of flight and there are many innovators considering the best ways to construct landing locations and the vehicles. Demonstration projects are occurring around the world, including during the recent Paris Olympics.
At our next Morning Sparks breakfast we will learn about this technology and discuss ideas for the future. Come learn and share your ideas. Click here to register for this free event.
If you RSVPd for the original date - please re-register so we make sure we have the room and refreshments prepared.
We are a little more than a month away from an exciting Morning Sparks where we will explore our role as one of the largest innovation districts globally! Expect to learn new information on how we plan to drive greater regional economic growth and competition, act as catalysts for economic opportunities in neighboring communities, and strategically position our district for growth in competitive and sustainable ways. This will be the first SPID event held at ARK Innovation Center, so mark your calendar for Friday, August 1st.
What's next for launching rockets into space? Launching rockets from the sea. With limited land availability and significant costs, companies like Seagate Space see a game-changing solution in developing offshore launchpads. There is also a sense of urgency as other countries have included offshore infrastructure as part of their space strategy. Seagate Space and The Spaceport Company are positioned to lead the way for Florida in this new frontier.
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is more than just helicopters or planes; it’s the future of transportation. St. Petersburg is looking ahead into electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft that can perform tasks beyond the capabilities of traditional aviation. Think faster disaster relief response, private air taxis, and much more.
