Join TMA and Rhode Island Ocean Tech Hub’s Evening Reception on August 27th!
Kick off your BlueTIDE 2025 experience with an evening designed to connect the coasts and spark new opportunities in ocean innovation. Hosted by Ocean Tech Hub, 401 Tech Bridge, Polaris MEP, and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with San Diego’s TMA BlueTech, this pre-event brings together a dynamic mix of ocean technology professionals and organizations.
Expect a relaxed yet purposeful atmosphere where industry leaders, solution developers, investors, and entrepreneurs can meet face-to-face, share insights, and explore collaboration opportunities. Participants will include companies from across the U.S. and beyond, many of whom will be presenting live demonstrations during the main BlueTide program.
From cutting-edge subsea systems to sustainable maritime solutions, the conversations and connections made here will set the tone for the days ahead.
Join us to network, exchange ideas, and help shape the future of the global blue economy—before the main event even begins.
