The St. Pete Innovation District is proud to be a member of The Continuum, a national network of ocean enterprise accelerators created to move ocean intelligence and marine technologies from validation to market adoption. Along with six partners - Braid Theory, Ocean Exchange, Seaworthy Collective, Tampa Bay Wave, the University of South Florida, and the World Ocean Council - we provide founders with coordinated commercialization pathways, industry access, and market-driven support.
Funded by NOAA, The Continuum also awards non-dilutive Technology Development and Commercialization (TDC) funding to the entrepreneurs participating in our programs. In the last year, we have collectively awarded over $1.5M to 18 startups. The TDC awards are designed to accelerate commercialization, support real-world pilot deployments, and strengthen U.S. leadership in the rapidly growing ocean enterprise economy.
