OKC's emerging innovation district currently encompasses about 1.3 square miles east of downtown - roughly between NE 13-16th Streets to the north and NE 4th to the south and Robinson and Lottie Avenues to the west and east. It crosses Broadway/Interstate 235 and includes Automobile Alley in addition to numerous institutions located within the boundaries.
On April 8th, the OKC Innovation District had the honor of hosting another edition of our Cocktails and Collaborations Monthly Social, this time in partnership with Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) following their 3rd Annual Innovation Conference at Innovation Hall.
The evening brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders for a relaxed night of connection, conversation, and community. Guests explored the space, shared ideas, and raised a glass to the power of collaboration in shaping Oklahoma’s future!
