The blue economy is divided into two components: things that go into the ocean, and things that come out, explained Jim Cooper, Co-Founder of Braid Theory who will be featured in Innovate Pasadena’s Virtual Coffee Meet up on April 1 with Co-Founder Ann Carpenter.
According to Cooper, the blue economy comprises a range of economic sectors which include port, shipping, fisheries, tourism, shipbuilding, coastal resilience and coastal regeneration.
Friday’s meet up will extensively discuss the blue economy and why Los Angeles is a perfect place to grow the economic sectors related to the blue economy.
Aside from topics about the blue economy, Cooper said participants in the meeting, which is for free, can also learn how Braid Theory helps startups and scaleups in bringing to the market the key components necessary to grow the blue economy.
