Boston BlueTech Networking Event
As part of TMA’s effort to strengthen collaboration between New England and Southern California, this second TMA Boston BlueTech Meetup expands on September’s successful launch by spotlighting the North Shore’s unique role in the emerging North Atlantic innovation corridor.
Hosted by TMA BlueTech, Nolstar LLC, and partners from Massachusetts Maritime Academy, the event brings together regional and national leaders advancing ocean technology, maritime defense, and sustainable industry growth.
Purpose & Focus
This gathering builds directly on insights from the recent Northeast–SoCal Collaboration dialogue, emphasizing:
Industry Acceleration: Enabling faster integration of autonomous and sensing systems that enhance ocean understanding and operational efficiency.
Cross-Sector Collaboration: Strengthening communication and coordination between academia, government, and industry across both coasts.
Startup Quality & Support: Identifying ways to improve startup readiness and access to test environments such as MITRE’s labs.
Private Sector Engagement: Exploring strategies to attract investment and corporate participation as federal funding landscapes evolve.
What to Expect
Spotlight Conversation: Short, high-impact remarks on regional innovation priorities and national maritime security challenges that affect both the Atlantic and Pacific.
Networking & Partnership Building: A relaxed setting to connect with peers shaping the next generation of maritime technologies.
Regional Collaboration: Updates on upcoming initiatives like the Blue Innovation Symposium and Blue Venture Forum, and how they link to BlueTech Month 2025 in San Diego.
