"Blue Action has provided us with invaluable, pragmatic advice tailored to island-specific challenges, such as how to present Drift and address the concerns of island energy companies and port infrastructure. One of the most impactful aspects has been the connections we've made through them. We've already been introduced to several potential customers, including a private resort on an island in the Pacific.”
