Blue Institute takes interdisciplinary actions for resilient oceans & waters.
The BLUE Excelerator is a specialized Advanced Topics virtual program (due to the pandemic) for BlueTech, ClimateTech and Blue Economy companies that have already completed an early-stage business development program or have a technology and business plan that has been vetted through another source such as a university or government business development agency.
While there are many accelerators that do a fabulous job of advancing a startups' business model, the startups in the water or marine hardware/software space - often face unique challenges for their next steps. It is from this need that the BLUE Excelerator for Advanced Topics was designed by Blue Institute Labs and launched in 2020.

"I have the honor of representing Southeastern Massachusetts in the United States Congress, and I am proud of our region's leadership in the Blue Economy. But more importantly, this morning, I am proud of BLUE's leadership in mentoring and growing the Blue Economy both locally and nationally. The presentations this morning represent a wide variety of blue solutions for the issues facing our economy and our environment - and with the help of the Blue Excelerator I do not doubt that we will see many of these solutions make an impact around the world. Thank you all for the work you do every day that contributes toward the sustainable blue economy our world needs, and best of luck to today's BX2 Demo Day presenters.” - US Representative Bill Keating
