Initiatives

The St. Pete Innovation District facilitates relationships across industries and organizations that have the potential to generate, sharpen and accelerate the advancement of ideas.

Together, these initiatives reflect the District’s commitment to impact and fall into five focus areas: unlocking the potential of the ocean economy; fueling technology innovation; amplifying transformational ideas; creating spaces that spark collaboration; and inspiring youth to discover STEAM careers.
