It can be difficult but fun to try to predict where technology, urban design, and even demographics will take us in 5 or 10 years. What will be changes we can anticipate today? What are the ideas we think are outlandish that turn viable? These are questions the Innovation District is curious about.
We would love to hear your thoughts....email us at abarlow@stpeteinnovationdistrict.com. We'll offer a prize for the one(s) that our team decides to explore further.

There are many quotes about innovation and how it is fostered. I have several hanging in my office. We recently looked to these as we were deciding the name for our new breakfast series. Our brainstorming kept coming back to the concept that ideas are the beginning - they create the "spark" that fuels innovation.
Congratulations to Sarah Gilbert, Chief Operating Officer of Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital for being named a 2024 BusinessWoman of the Year honoree. We are also thrilled that Sarah has recently joined the Board of Directors for the Innovation District.
Even with an extra day in the month, I am running late with the February newsletter. Its been a busy and exciting time. Last Tuesday we announced a new project - Catching the Blue Wave: Accelerating America’s Ocean Economy.
