This week, we hosted an inspiring Edison Awards Lightbulb Series event at Collaboratory, where technology and sustainability took center stage. Dr. Daniel Betts, PhD, MBA, Colin Goddard, and James Ramsey, led by moderator Cotrenia Hood, shared cutting-edge innovations in cooling, clean water, and urban design—showcasing how bold ideas drive resilience in our communities. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation and helped spark new ways to shape Southwest Florida’s future!

Dr. Ashley Danley-Thomson’s “Sustainability in Engineering” class from Florida Gulf Coast University recently visited Collaboratory to explore how land development and resilient design are shaping the future of Midtown Fort Myers. These civil and environmental engineering students—now in their final semester—got an inside look at how our space reflects our mission, our five-county region, and the power of collaboration in the design of resilient communities.
