Soli Dg INC

Soli Dg INC is a consultancy firm founded by Patrick Arnold in 2007, specializing in building and navigating organizations from concept to operation. The business operates out of Portland, Maine, and serves clients across New York, New Jersey, and internationally. They have worked with major entities like the Maine Port Authority, Eimskip, and the University of Southern Maine to scale operations and build coalitions.

The firm's process involves taking a client's asset, business, or idea from concept to full operation. Patrick Arnold describes this as 'building the coalition that carries it' and 'standing up the organization that runs it,' moving from a standing start to a fully operational entity.

Patrick Arnold highlights his background in navigation as a key differentiator, stating that 'building and navigating are one process.' He emphasizes that building is the work of starting or scaling, while navigating is the constant work of pivoting and restructuring through challenges.

The firm has a history of working with maritime and port-related organizations, including the International Marine Terminal, Eimskip, and the Panama Canal Authority. Their expertise spans international shipping, port operations, and blue economy initiatives.

The firm has established regional blue economy clusters, such as the New England Ocean Cluster founded in 2014, which was the first sister cluster of the Iceland Ocean Cluster. They also convened a regional blue economy from a single room on Commercial Street.

In 2025, the firm helped stand up the University of Southern Maine's first Office of Commercialization. This involved industry sprints, a cooperation agreement with UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and workforce development programs linking Iceland, Norway, and the United States.
