Thames River Innovation Place — a supporter of entrepreneurial projects in Groton and New London that is funded by the public-private network CTNext — is seeking year five proposals that will be eligible for a total of up to $1.5 million in matching funding.
The request for proposals notes that priority will be given to projects that activate the regional "Blue Tech Economy," meaning maritime technology projects that target economic activity on or around the Thames River or Long Island Sound. This might include projects connected to the Navy, Electric Boat or offshore wind.
