Kudos to Lauren Bell, the Innovation District's Hub Community Manager, for her acceptance into the Leadership St. Pete Class of 2025. Lauren is a rock star at the Innovation District. Her role is diverse - you may see her help Hub tenants forge new partnerships, oversee Hub events, provide tours to youth about future STEAM careers, and coordinate our social media. She has even been known to help a research vessel dock in the port. Congratulations to Lauren and her fellow classmates. To see the full list of LSP 2025 click here.
The Innovation District and six partners were recently selected to help grow startups that are working on technology/data solutions for the ocean economy. This powerful collaboration is made possible thanks to $13.9 million awarded by the NOAA Ocean Enterprise Accelerators program.
