PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — As Philadelphia celebrates the history of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the ‘Innovation Pavilion’ shared a glimpse of the future of careers and technology.
The three-day event hosted at Cherry Street Pier was part of the Homecoming 250 celebration and sponsored by the Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC).
The event put a spotlight on many of the DVIRC’s client companies that supply the U.S. Navy with technology and parts.
Through various booths and demonstrations, the public could learn about these companies and innovative technologies.
In addition, students could learn about potential careers in the maritime industrial base, such as welding, ship and submarine building, and more.
The Innovation Pavilion concluded on October 11, 2025. However, there are many more celebrations planned in Philadelphia for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
