In 1883, a storm flooded the Atlantic City shop of Joseph Fralinger — our founder's great-great-great-grandfather — soaking his taffy in seawater. Rather than discard it, he sold the batch as "salt water taffy," turning a disaster into one of America's most enduring confections.
Saltwater Innovations carries that instinct forward: finding the strategic opportunity inside disruption, for the governments and businesses we advise.
