Call for Mentors

This is your opportunity to give back and help grow the BlueTech & Blue Economy sectors; to impart those "soft skills" that are not taught in school; and to share your expertise and experience with "advanced young companies" as they work through the design, development, and planning for a successful pilot and/or a prototype.
Entrepreneurship is hard, but with your dedicated help...it will be a little easier!
