Maine’s remix economy: Building the new from the known

Innovation doesn't start from scratch. It starts from what's already here. This panel explores how startup founders are reworking the tools, workflows, and byproducts already embedded in Maine's economic, environmental, and community infrastructure to build the next generation of products. Using the blue economy as a case study, the conversation will dig into what makes "remix innovation" work, from leveraging local manufacturing and processing pathways to lowering the barriers to adoption, and how it's quietly strengthening Maine's economy in the process.
