IGNITE 22 Global Tech Showcase

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

A highlight of the event was reconnecting with longtime partners and meeting new ones… These are exactly the partnerships that strengthen the international ecosystem our BlueTech startups rely on.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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