About the Risk + Resilience Tech Hub
Known for its pristine beaches and balmy weather, South Florida is an ideal place for those who enjoy a tropical lifestyle.
However, the ongoing threat of environmentally catastrophic events is changing the way South Floridian’s relate to the natural world around us.
Our region’s susceptibility to hurricanes, floods, gale force winds and more means we need to PREPARE our environment TODAY to ensure our slice of paradise is preserved for future generations.
Our region’s unique geographic location coupled with its myriad extreme weather challenges encouraged the Economic Development Agency (EDA) to elect South Florida as one of its 31 designated Tech Hubs in the United States. The only hub located in the State of Florida, the Risk + Resilience Tech Hub aims to grow South Florida’s resilient infrastructure by investing in innovative technologies and products. These investments in the technologies of the future will advance South Florida’s global leadership in sustainable and resilient infrastructure (SRI) solutions.
Prioritizing the use of sustainable materials and eco-friendly methods, the Risk + Resilience Tech Hub will fortify our region’s infrastructure against extreme weather events, ensuring long-term protection and durability. These efforts will also enhance South Florida’s global standing as a leader in innovative sustainability, driving economic growth and productivity.
Florida International University (FIU) is proud to collaborate with numerous local partners to spearhead the development of sustainable, clean construction materials, particularly in cement and concrete.
