In an era when technological change is accelerating faster than at any time previously, the innovation of FIU researchers was on full display at eMerge Americas 2025.
Now in its 11th year, the global tech conference and expo on Miami Beach creates an ecosystem for innovators, entrepreneurs, industry experts and institutions of higher education to gather and connect over the course of two days. This year, FIU celebrated a decade of participation by giving passes to more than 750 students, faculty and alumni to attend the two-day event.
FIU showcased research in the College of Engineering & Computing, the FIU Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy, as well as Aquarius Reef Base, cybersecurity initiatives, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), additive materials and the hurricane research being conducted in the FIU Extreme Events Institute. Much of the innovation featured is “dual use,” meaning it has both civilian and military applications, like the work being done to invent and develop the next generation of foldable, deployable, reconfigurable systems that operate at higher frequencies in the Transforming Antennas Center.
