The third annual State of Science continued our tradition of celebrating the local scientists, doctors, technologists and innovators. Like many events in 2020 it was virtual. It was kicked off by world-renowned artist Janet Echleman who recently installed her work at the St. Petersburg Pier.
Following Ms. Echleman were five lightning round presentations from innovators at USF's College of Marine Science and College of Arts and Sciences, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, and Poynter Institute.

Saildrone and Palantir have announced a new strategic partnership that is set to transform maritime security. By accelerating the deployment of autonomous systems, this collaboration unlocks advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-driven maritime solutions at scale. In a world grappling with rising global threats and a shipbuilding industry pushed to its limits, this alliance signals a seismic shift in how we safeguard our seas.
The Innovation District has partnered once again with Pinellas County Economic Development and the FIU Global Forensic and Justice Center for the annual Pinellas Defense Networking Forum. This is a great opportunity to meet with fellow defense contractors to discuss key challenges and explore potential partnerships.
The Innovation District hosts a quarterly breakfast series called Morning Sparks: Innovation X-change. At each session we explore emerging technologies, invite District partners to share their current related efforts, and engage in thoughtful (and hopefully spirited) discussions that will spark future innovation.
