What will our world look like in 5 years, 10 years?

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.
