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...
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.
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.
Fantastic event for the Ocean Economy. Thanks to the organizers and attendees. Florida wants to learn from you.
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.
Events like this remind me how much momentum is building around the blue economy. Already looking forward to the next one.
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.
We had some great conversations with fellow innovators, environmental advocates, and community leaders who care deeply about the future of our blue planet.
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. Ocean tech is moving fast!
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.

We love LA (and our favorite neighborhood San Pedro), however, it's not a requirement for you to move here to be in this program.
You must attend 70% of the weekly workshops and meetings with mentors unless agreed upon in writing.
The program concentrates on three key aspects of commercialization: building capability, capacity, and intellectual capital. Some additional topics include: business model, market fit, customer discovery, value proposition, and go-to-market strategy.
During the 10-week program, teams will engage in weekly 90 minute curriculum calls, a 60 minute 1:1 with their assigned mentor, access to industry advisors, and be responsible for working towards specific deliverables. We understand founders are very busy. Expect to spend 3-5 hours a week.
Braid Theory does not provide direct seed funding.
No, our Accelerator and Incubator programs are free and equity free.
