Maritime Blue facilitates collaborative R&D, Joint Innovation Projects (JIPs), business development, and teaming for grant opportunities to implement demonstration projects and drive early-stage technology to commercialization. Modeling other global centers of excellence, we use the collective strength of our Cluster to implement the State’s Strategy for the Blue Economy and collaborate to share resources, take advantage of funding mechanisms, and support strategic and feasibility planning.

Bringing together coalition members from across the Pacific Northwest region, our Build Back Blue team seeks to accelerate key capital construction projects, advance research and market analysis, further the development of clean fuels and technologies, and build resilient communites for the future.
