You are invited to the Solutions Connection Forum hosted by the Marine Research Hub and the City of Hollywood.

This virtual session connects municipal leaders with innovative companies exploring pilot partnerships, grant alignment, and scalable solutions for coastal and stormwater challenges.

• Hear concise, 5-minute pitches from companies offering ready-to-pilot technologies that address water quality, stormwater management, sensors, and data-driven operations.
• Engage directly with solution providers and municipal peers during the municipal response and next-steps segment to explore various opportunities.

• Nucleic Sensing Systems (NS2) — autonomous eDNA biosensor for real-time genetic detection in water and wastewater.
• Bio Clean Carbon — wastewater treatment solutions targeting nutrient and PFAS removal.
• Water Warriors — phosphorus-absorbing pellets for water quality improvement.
• Sunfish — autonomous underwater vehicles for infrastructure inspection and risk identification.
• SkyWind Solutions — AI-powered hyperlocal tide and total water level forecasting.
• Mermaid Energy — process and convert sargassum into usable bioenergy.
• Sargassum Eco Lumber / SeaLumber — carbon-negative composite lumber made from invasive seaweed and recycled plastic.

Short municipal framing followed by rapid solution pitches (5 minutes each + 2 minutes Q), then municipal reactions and next steps.

The desired outcome is further communication between specific companies and cities to advance pilots and funding opportunities.
