Whether you’re already a pioneer in the blue economy or just curious about its potential, this event is for you. The event takes place onboard Viking Line ships at the iconic sea-route from Turku to Mariehamn and back.

Onboard Blue Connect Cruise, we’ll dive into the future of the new Finnish blue economy. In accordance to, A’Pelago Initiative 2025 events theme Blue Economy Innovations, the Blue Connect Cruise will dive into the potential and growth opportunities of Finnish players in the blue economy sector. Key questions for discussion include What does the future of the blue economy look like? What is Finland’s role in advancing the new blue economy? Are we at the forefront of innovation or falling behind? What growth opportunities does the blue economy offer? How can these opportunities be seized?

The program includes inspiring talks, networking with around 60 like-minded sea activists and potential partners, deep dives into the state of Finland’s blue economy, four hands-on workshop sessions, and, of course, delicious food with wintery sea views.

The event is open to everyone committed to advancing the blue economy and improving the health of our seas. Whether you're an experienced member of the A'Pelago ecosystem or a fresh face, the Blue Connect Cruise brings together the pioneers shaping the future of our seas across sectors for dialogue and action.
