The Gulf Blue Innovation Hub
Located in downtown Gulfport’s Blue Economy Innovation District, Gulf Blue Headquarters at the historic Gulf & Ship Island Building serves as a front door to Mississippi’s innovation network and a landing pad for companies entering Gulf Coast and U.S. defense markets.
Gulf Blue Headquarters
The Gulf Blue Innovation Hub at The Gulf & Ship Island Building provides flexible workspace, dedicated offices, meeting rooms, event capacity, high-speed connectivity, and collaborative programming for startups, researchers, defense contractors, industry partners, remote teams, and visiting delegations.
More than a physical workspace, Gulf Blue Headquarters connects tenants and visiting companies with research institutions, federal partners, manufacturers, investors, economic development organizations, customers, mentors, and testing resources.
Its downtown Gulfport location provides convenient access to the Port of Gulfport, Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, rail and interstate transportation, the USM Marine Research Center, the Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise, and the Gulf’s year-round coastal testing environment.
