It can be difficult but fun to try to predict where technology, urban design, and even demographics will take us in 5 or 10 years. What will be changes we can anticipate today? What are the ideas we think are outlandish that turn viable? These are questions the Innovation District is curious about.
We would love to hear your thoughts....email us at abarlow@stpeteinnovationdistrict.com. We'll offer a prize for the one(s) that our team decides to explore further.

Not so long ago, talent and innovation blossomed in an area just south of Downtown St. Petersburg. City officials and community partners wanted to leverage the capabilities of key institutions—USF St. Petersburg, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, and the Poynter Institute, to name a few. The point was to foster collaboration and show our initiatives to the world.
We will host another Trolley Tour and Happy Hour on Friday, June 13th. You will board a trolley with other Innovation District partners and learn about the history and future plans for the area. This tour will feature stops at Albert Whitted Airport, Florida Institute of Oceanography, and The Dalí Museum. The tour will conclude back at the Hub with a networking happy hour.
April’s Tech X-change was a hit, thanks to an engaging presentation from Digital Twin Marine. Shoutout to all the Eckerd College students who joined us! The audience was curious and interactive, asking great questions and eager to try out the virtual reality headset.
