Maryland sets sail for its next industry cluster: blue tech
Spearheaded by a consortium of companies, nonprofits and academic institutions, Maryland is campaigning to become one of the country’s three biggest hubs for "blue tech" innovation, an up-and-coming industry sector focused on the maritime and water industries. The Maryland Technology Development Corporation, or TEDCO, announced the initiative, which will be called BlueTechMD, last week.
