IGNITE 22 Global Tech Showcase

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.

A special thank you to the team at Braid Theory for bringing together such a diverse community of innovators and ecosystem builders. Convening the right people around meaningful challenges is often where progress begins.

We had some great conversations with fellow innovators, environmental advocates, and community leaders who care deeply about the future of our blue planet.

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...

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.

Set against the backdrop of the Port of Los Angeles, open water, and a clear sky… it was a strong reminder that logistics and sustainability aren't just "nice-to-haves." They are the backbone of this country and our standard of living.

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.

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.

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