These companies represent promising #bluetech innovators focused on the exploration, conservation, and sustainable use of ocean resources.

"The program is turbocharging blue tech startups for investment success while positioning Maine as a leader in ocean-related artificial intelligence solutions," said Blaine Grimes, GMRI’s Chief Ventures Officer. “Through this accelerator and other efforts, we aim to bridge the gap between innovative, blue economy businesses and the capital, technical knowledge, and networks needed to help them grow.” This program, made possible by funding from the Maine Technology Institute, is a collaborative effort between Gulf of Maine Research Institute's Ventures team, The Roux Institute at Northeastern University, and the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University.
