Marina Technology Cluster

The Marina Technology Cluster (http://www.msbi.org/) is a not-for-profit business accelerator assisting early-stage companies in the marine science, agriculture technology and information technology sectors through a comprehensive series of services and programs.

A collaborative project between the City of Marina (http://www.ci.marina.ca.us/) and the University of California’s Monterey Bay Education, Science and Technology (MBEST) Center (http://www.ucmbest.org/), our goal is to facilitate commercialization of emergent regional technologies.

Located in close proximity to more than 30 technology and science, research and education institutions, the Cluster is ideally situated in the heart of the region’s unparalleled, year-round agricultural markets.

Through this project, the City of Marina and MBEST together provide a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs in the Monterey Bay region to find business assistance, start-up support, access to dynamic research and a great place to grow their business.
