Our 4th A'Pelago Initiative:
A vital forum for Blue Economy builders

Change begins with people. It begins with those who care deeply about the future of our Seas, who choose to collaborate across sectors and borders, and who have the courage to create solutions where none yet exist.

We are not separate from the ocean. We are part of the same shared ecosystem. Every river, bay, and sea connects us, and our actions shape its future just as its health shapes ours.

United by responsibility, curiosity, and determination, we come together to build a more resilient and thriving Blue Economy. On August 19–20, 2026, around 350 entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, researchers, NGOs, and innovators will gather to turn ideas into impact. This year, the theme focuses on From Ocean Literacy to Action and Bridging the Finance Gap.

Expect inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, meaningful networking, and pitches emerging directly from the Baltic Sea, across sectors such as Marine Biomaterials, Blue Food & Cosmetics, Ocean Resilience, Ocean Data & Tech, and Maritime Solutions.
