Are you like me? Give me a physical map and I get excited! Maybe its a carryover from the pre-GPS days, but I think it is such a fun way to explore an area.
Do you have an innovative idea for the District - a place we are missing, a new use for an existing building, a technology tool... anything? As part of our Master Planning project, we have an online tool available for you to share these ideas.
Imagine a day when you jump in an electronic, autonomous air taxi in St. Pete and head to Tampa International Airport or even to Orlando.
The Innovation District master planning project has begun!
Kudos to the Volunteers of America Florida, City of St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County for the recent opening of the new downtown apartments, located in the Innovation District called Innovare. Innovare’s 50 apartments provide stable homes for individuals and families who earn 60 percent or less of the Area’s Median Income (AMI), including many who are transitioning from homelessness.

The St. Petersburg Ocean Team is the premier consortium for marine science and related research, education and entrepreneurship in the Southeast. It is also one of the top such industry clusters in the nation. The Ocean Team is comprised of over 20 complementary firms, government entities, and institutions that are located near one another, many in the St. Pete Innovation District, that draw advantages from their proximity as well as the similarities between their workforce and vendor needs.
The strength of the Ocean Team and its members means that like-minded research institutions and agencies, as well as businesses seeking to capitalize on technology transfer continue to locate nearby. Their economic impact benefits the city, surrounding region, as well as the entire state.
The Ocean Team’s collaborations extend to include the region’s life science and social science communities. The synergies between these disciplines not only strengthens the scientific research but also provides opportunities for practical application of that research.
