San Diego is the leading maritime technology center in the U.S. The Maritime Alliance is working with partners to organize the San Diego maritime community to better address growth opportunities locally and in this truly global industry. The goals of this first San Diego Maritime Week are to celebrate "all things maritime," to raise the visibility of this important San Diego sector locally, nationally and internationally, and to promote global collaboration.
Many thanks to our supporters for helping make the events of this weekend possible.
It's not too late to participate in the Maritime Science Expo!
