The 2025 Blue Economy Investment Summit is a one-day event exploring the evolving landscape of ocean and marine technology investment—what’s working, what’s changing, and what’s needed next. Hear from innovative founders, seasoned investors, and key stakeholders who are advancing solutions to the most pressing challenges facing our oceans today.

This year’s summit will focus on the intersection of climate tech and the blue economy, with a look at how shifting market conditions are shaping opportunities in this growing sector. We’ll also highlight Maine’s vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem and its leadership role in driving sustainable ocean innovation across Northern New England and beyond.

The 2025 Blue Economy Investment Summit is hosted in partnership with the ClimateTech Incubator at Northeastern University's Roux Institute and guided by a steering committee of leaders from Blue Venture Forum, Maine Venture Fund, Maine Technology Institute, CEI, and Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences.
