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.

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.

Events like this remind me how much momentum is building around the blue economy. Already looking forward to the next one.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

We go to about 30-40 conferences or tradeshows each year. By far the most unique is IGNITE22. We have been coming here since 2022, and it gets better and better every year.
