Expansion Initiatives The Port of Olympia’s recent expansion of facilities, including the new waterfront center at Swantown Marina, presents opportunities for suppliers and contractors in maritime infrastructure, construction, and environmental services.

Environmental Innovations With ongoing environmental projects such as the Deschutes Estuary restoration and the launch of a research vessel, there is potential for partnerships with environmental technology providers, research firms, and sustainable product vendors.

Educational Collaborations The partnership with Evergreen State College and involvement in environmental research initiatives offer avenues for educational technology companies and environmental training providers to engage with the Port for joint programs and research projects.

Technological Adoption Using a range of digital tools and analytics like WordPress, Google Analytics, and other web technologies, the Port may be interested in advanced digital solutions, data management, or cybersecurity services to enhance their online presence and operational efficiency.

Community Engagement Recent projects such as launching the Hot Topics hub and hiring key community development roles indicate a focus on community outreach and stakeholder engagement, opening opportunities for communication platforms, public relations, and community-focused technology solutions.
