A'Pelago Initiative Matchmaking

Welcome to A'Pelago Initiative 2026 Matchmaking!

A'Pelago Initiative is a  forum for Blue Economy builders, 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.

The Initiative brings over 300 entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, researchers, NGOs, and innovators together to turn ideas into impact. This year, the theme focuses on From Ocean Literacy to Action and Bridging the Finance Gap.
