what is

blue tech?

Blue tech is any technology, system or platform designed for application or use on, above or within the ocean. An advanced sector of the maritime industry, blue tech helps drive sustainable ocean innovation and remediation within segments of the blue economy. Blue innovation fuels the Blue Economy–a term which describes economic activities associated with the ocean and sea.

Our members uphold pledges to meet United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
