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 Maritime and Defense Technology Hub (Hub) in the St. Pete Innovation District is a shared workspace that brings together under one roof the triple helix of innovation: industry, government, and academia. It takes advantage of the increased need for maritime and national security technology solutions across the State of Florida and the Federal government.
The Innovation District, a nonprofit organization, manages the Hub. Over 20 organizations are sub-tenants. The sub-tenants are curated based on their alignment to the City and County target industries with particular attention on marine science, defense, and technology sectors.
The Hub's tenants are also selected for their ability to leverage the unique attributes of the building such as a workspace with port access, rooms designed for secure communications, and wet/chemical laboratories.
A list of the current tenants can be found below under "Resources"
The Hub organizations are expected, as part of their lease terms, to engage as members of the Innovation District and the broader St. Petersburg community. Their efforts include local hiring, internships, peer mentoring of entrepreneurs/small businesses, and technical exchange events. The Hub reports annually these activities.
The Hub also offers rental of meeting space, outdoor event space, and water-based test and evaluation.
For additional information contact the Hub at 727-231-1162 or hub@stpeteinnovationdistrict.com.
