U.S Maritime Technology Export Initiative
Applications Reviewed on a Rolling Basis
TMA BlueTech will lead a curated United States delegation of 10 companies on a two country trade mission to Singapore and Indonesia in April 2026. The mission is part of a federally supported maritime export initiative delivered in collaboration with the U.S. Commercial Service.
The mission is designed to provide structured, high level access to commercial partners, port authorities, government stakeholders, and innovation ecosystems across two of Southeast Asia’s most strategically important maritime markets.
Mission Overview
The delegation will participate in tailored programming across both countries, including embassy briefings, curated business matchmaking, site visits, and ecosystem engagements. Singapore programming will align with Singapore Maritime Week 2026, while Indonesia programming will focus on Jakarta, Batam, and Surabaya, with optional site visits to major ports and infrastructure hubs.
This dual market approach offers participating companies exposure to both a globally mature maritime hub and one of the fastest growing maritime economies in the world.
Focus Areas
The mission is relevant for companies working across maritime and ocean technology sectors, including but not limited to:
Port and maritime infrastructure modernization
Maritime security and domain awareness
Ocean data systems and digital transformation
Marine autonomy and intelligent vessel systems
