IGNITE 22 Global Tech Showcase.

The room was stacked: VCs, technologists, ecosystem builders, startups, and government leaders from the local to international level, all aligned around one of the most exciting and underestimated sectors in the innovation economy.

It was an incredible experience joining a select group of blue economy innovators at IGNITE22 who are focused on building tangible solutions rather than dwelling on the problem.

One of the biggest takeaways was a reminder that while the challenges facing our coasts are significant, there are brilliant minds across sectors working every day to develop practical, scalable solutions.

Congratulations to the Braid Theory team for organizing another inspiring day that showcased technology from around the globe at our waterfront. This event truly activated our District with innovation and entrepreneurship.

This is what the #BlueEconomy looks like. Innovation in ocean and marine tech everywhere, innovators and entrepreneurs from all walks of life and funders and investors of every stripe.

It was energizing to see so much innovation across supply chain, logistics, port operations, and international trade and even better to meet so many leaders working to move the industry forward.

Fantastic event for the Ocean Economy. Thanks to the organizers and attendees. Florida wants to learn from you.

I was reminded that the blue economy is not one sector — it is an entire operating system. It touches maritime logistics, ports, ocean monitoring, environmental data, conservation, clean energy, Al, robotics...

We were honored to host this dynamic gathering of entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and industry leaders working together to advance solutions for some of our world's most pressing challenges.

Reúne a personas que están construyendo tecnología con impacto real y que entienden que innovar no es solo tener una buena idea, sino conseguir que funcione fuera del laboratorio.
