Attendee insights.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
