Morning Sparks: The Future of Innovation Districts

The St Petersburg Innovation District will celebrate 10 years in 2026! As one of the largest innovation districts globally, it has unique capabilities and features that make it stand out and succeed in job growth, average salaries, new start-ups and more. As we celebrate these successes, we must also position ourselves for the next 10 years.

Questions we must answer:

• How do we drive greater regional economic growth and competitiveness?
• How do we act as catalysts for expanding economic opportunities in neighboring communities?
• How do we strategically position our district for growth in ways that are both competitive and sustainable?

Join us to explore what Innovation Districts around the world are doing and co-create what we would like to achieve in the future.

What Can You Expect?

Each Morning Sparks event focuses on an emerging technology or concept with broad implications. These short, thought-provoking presentations will lead into an audience discussion. Together, we'll explore how our District partners can embrace the technology, its future implications, and our next steps.
