It has been stated many times that Tampa Bay area could be the next major tech hub and with CodeBoxx opening a new facility inside the Thrive DTSP building on 4th Street North in St. Pete on May 19 we are on the way.
CodeBoxx Technology with its 16 week coding bootcamp and a digital workshop, wants to be the catalyst for a tech boom in the area. Codeboxx’s goal to make technology training accessible for all walks of life, and to help people launch their careers in tech is a mission that will fit perfectly into the business ecosystem of St. Pete.

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.
