Award for Robotics

February 13, 2016

Speaking at WHOI in December 2014, Pamela Goldberg, CEO of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC), had high praise for WHOI’s Center for Marine Robotics (CMR) and its potential to spur innovation in Massachusetts. Through the MTC’s Collaborative Research and Development Matching Grant Program, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts announced a $5 million grant to WHOI, recognizing CMR as the nucleus of a cluster of marine and robotics-related businesses and research institutions in the Commonwealth.
