The theme of this year's BlueTech Week 2024 is 'Bridging Gaps; Uniting Maritime Defence, Decarbonisation and Ocean Resiliance'.

As one of the first ocean and water technologies clusters in the U.S., TMA BlueTech is known for being at the forefront of advancing sustainable and responsible ocean and water technologies through innovation and collaboration. One of the ways they do this is by hosting pioneering events that bring together diverse minds from various sectors and silos to drive technological advancements, both the foreseen and unforeseen.

BlueTech Week is TMA’s annual flagship event. This is not just another large-scale conference; it is a smaller, more intimate event that is known for bringing together highly diverse technologies and knowledge sets with a high concentration of key decision-makers. This aggregation ensures that BlueTech Week offers unparalleled opportunities for highest-quality interactions that lead to positive commercial outcomes.

This year, BlueTech Week is innovating yet again by exploring the powerful intersection between maritime defence, maritime decarbonisation, and ocean resilience technologies. Organisations are invited to join TMA on this groundbreaking journey, which has high positive-impact potential for not only ocean and coastal ecosystem worldwide, but for high-value commercial opportunities in these three sectors as well.
