The city of St. Petersburg, led by the Innovation District, was selected to join US Ignite's Smart Gigabyte Communities in early 2019. The Smart Communities program brings together cities around the country to share lessons learned while exploring how technology can be used to solve community challenges.
Over the last two years, the Innovation District and community partners have worked on four pilot projects. Join us on March 3rd to learn about the goals of these projects and our progress so far.

If you have looked behind the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub this week you will see a new visitor - the HOS Mystique. This vessel is assisting with the deployment of two large spar buoys next week offshore in collaboration with USF’s College of Marine Science and USF’s School of Geosciences. The spar buoy is designed to measure very small geodetic motions of the seafloor in order to better predict earthquakes and tsunamis.
