BlueTech Week: Bridging Gaps

Event Overview

As one of the first ocean and water technologies clusters in the U.S., TMA BlueTech is known for being at the forefront of advancing sustainable and responsible ocean and water technologies through innovation and collaboration. One of the ways we do this is by hosting pioneering events that bring together diverse minds from various sectors and silos to drive technological advancements, both the foreseen and unforeseen.

BlueTech Week is TMA’s annual flagship event. This is not just another large-scale conference; it is a smaller, more intimate event that is known for bringing together highly diverse technologies and knowledge sets with a high concentration of key decision-makers.
