Discover Global Markets: The Blue Economy

Discover Global Markets business development forum is the U.S. Department of Commerce's annual flagship event for U.S. exporters! Join us this year in Rhode Island, a highly integrated marine economy that encompasses manufacturing and research. The "Ocean" state is home to a wide range of maritime industries, including boat building and servicing; advanced materials and component boat/ship systems development; undersea technologies with defense and commercial applications (dual-use); ocean sciences and engineering; marine tourism; and coastal community and environment preservation.
