Blue Tech with the Northwest Innovation Resource Center's Diane Kamionka


'Blue Tech' is a term that gets used a lot in describing our upcoming generation of maritime industries...but what is it?

In this new, ongoing series, we're going to discuss what Blue Tech is, how we're seeing it manifest in the industry, and the people and players involved in innovating and exploring the processes and technology in our maritime sector.

This first discussion features Diane Kamionka of the Northwest Innovation Resource Center. Based in Bellingham, the NWIRC aids entrepreneuers in their ideas and businesses. Diane and Dan talk about Blue Tech and entrepreneuers in the maritime industry, and explore what the industry and sector are working on.
