Please join us for our third BlueTech Boost Showcase at Gulf of Maine Research Institute on December 12th . We will be getting a sneak peek at four very early-stage companies that offer new solutions to climate and ocean economy challenges.

The BlueTech Boost is a 10-week program provided by GMRI's Ventures team to support early-stage bluetech companies in the Northeast Atlantic region. Through mentorship, micro-grant funding, and GMRI staff subject matter expertise, we empower these founders to achieve specific milestones that they have identified as near-term hurdles for their companies.

During the showcase, the cohort will provide an overview of their businesses and highlight the progress they've made towards their growth goals, as well as their upcoming roadmap. You are welcome to stick around after the presentations to mingle with the founders and other industry peers over snacks and beverages. Details about the four companies are available below. You are being invited as a friend/partner to our program. It takes a village to get these companies off the ground and we hope that you can join us to celebrate them!

If you have any questions about the program or the event, feel free to reach out to Megan Banner Sutherland ([email protected]).
