This year’s Pacific Marine Expo (https://www.pacificmarineexpo.com/)will feature the “State of the Blue Annual Gathering: Innovation, Impact, and Investment in the Blue Economy.” This addresses headlines of an event full of programming that will outline updated major initiatives such as sustainable maritime fuels, Quiet Sound, workforce development, green technologies, fast ferries, and others.
These updates are part of Maritime Blue’s (https://maritimeblue.org/) effort to develop cutting-edge strategies to ensure that Washington State is home to a world-class, thriving, sustainable maritime industry through accelerating innovation for a Blue Economy. Pacific Marine Expo (PME) will present a forum that will showcase innovations that will shape the future of the entire maritime industry.
The "State of the Blue" program will bring together experts from across the industry to hear updates on innovation in maritime, fisheries, and oceans. Speakers and panelists from industry, government, research institutions, community organizations, and investors/funders will share updates, trends, and case studies. Click here to register.
