This February, Tallahassee hosted an international conference dedicated to electric motors and magnets, drawing over 400 high-tech company representatives, entrepreneurs, and researchers from around the globe. The event at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center highlights Tallahassee's growing reputation as a hub for scientific innovation.

It’s no surprise that the conference found its home here. Tallahassee is also home to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, or MagLab, located at Innovation Park. The MagLab houses the world's most powerful electromagnets. According to Michael Tetrowsky from Florida State University's Office of Business and Industry Solutions, the choice of location was a natural fit. The lab's work has far-reaching implications, including developing electrified ships for the Navy and broader electrification efforts across the Department of Defense.
