Ted Janulis, Founder, Investable Oceans
Given the broad and intense challenges our oceans face, was there progress? Of course – in the form of new commitments, partnerships and initiatives. Was it enough? Hard to say, given the enormity and complexity of the issues. But are there reasons for hope and renewed resolve? Absolutely.

Ann Carpenter, Co-Founder & CEO Braid Theory
Due to Braid Theory’s work related to the decarbonization of goods movement, I spent considerable time learning of similarly minded efforts around port-related activities in Europe. Collaborative initiatives offer a pathway for entrepreneurs to work with the port industry on pilot projects and problem solving.
