About Our Program

Bluetech ventures have substantial potential for impact. We believe that encouraging this type of innovation requires a dedicated and focused support infrastructure. The goal of the BlueSwell Incubator is to build the capacity of new founders to convert their big ocean-focused concepts into profitable and sustainable businesses by bridging a gap of funding and mentorship.
