Our goal is to build on our region’s core competencies to make Maryland one of the top blue tech innovation hubs and center of excellence in the country. The Maryland ecosystem, with its breadth and depth of capabilities, is naturally poised to join other emerging blue tech clusters.īlue Tech is defined as aquaculture, offshore wind, sustainable maritime, stormwater and flooding management, bay and ocean restoration, urban waterfront, and more. The challenges to our waters are unprecedented and acute with acidification, warming and sea level rise, pollution, and the loss of critical marine biodiversity. The goal of BlueTechMD, comprised of for-profits, universities, and non-profits, is to attract more of the myriad of climate tech investors and blue tech entrepreneurs to Maryland, and create more collaborative opportunities and solutions to solve our climate change problems. (October 6, 2021)- TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced today its collaboration with various Maryland partners in creating the BlueTechMD Consortium (BlueTechMD).
