The global Blue Economy presents a massive $6+ trillion opportunity, yet BlueTech innovators face unique challenges. Navigating the 'Valley of Death' is particularly daunting, especially given the harsh and expensive nature of working in and on water. To address these challenges and foster entrepreneurship, we established Blue Innovation Labs, a collaborative hub for the entire BlueTech ecosystem. Here, startups, established companies, academia, NGOs, and government agencies can connect, access resources, get their technology in the water, and advance progress.
For high-growth startups, we offer the BLUE Incubator Program. This intensive program provides bespoke mentorship, access to funding, and dedicated support to accelerate their journey from catalyst to commercialization. By fostering a diverse and inclusive ecosystem, empowering female, Black, and Brown entrepreneurs, and supporting transitioning veterans, we are driving innovation and creating a more equitable and sustainable future for the Blue Economy.
In Summary:
Blue Innovation Labs partners with TOOL: The Ocean Opportunity Lab to Support Cross-Atlantic Entrepreneurship & Women in BlueTech.
Our Women in BlueTech Speaker Series is a now a cross-Atlantic partnership between TOOL: The Ocean Opportunity Lab (from Oslo) and Blue Innovation Labs.
Join us each quarter starting on Wednesday March 5th 2025 at 10:00 AM EST for a virtual event celebrating and empowering women in BlueTech.
