Your Devocean at A’Pelago’s Ocean Initiative 2025 — Building bridges in the Blue Economy
Shining a Nordic light on the Baltic Sea
On August 20–21, Your Devocean will join innovators, NGOs, researchers, companies, and investors at A’Pelago in Åbo — a gathering that puts the Baltic Sea and the Blue Economy at the center of the conversation.
Representing Your Devocean:
Maj Grove, CEO — ocean advocate, strategist, and leader of our mission to unite, empower, and impact ocean actors.
Cecilia Hjertzell, Board Member and senior CSO professional — bringing deep expertise in ESG, CSRD, and sustainable business transformation.
Why we’re attending
A’Pelago is a driver for the Blue Economy — connecting diverse stakeholders who share one thing in common: the ocean. For Your Devocean, it’s a perfect match.
We’re here to:
Meet Baltic NGOs ready to scale their impact through ESG-aligned reporting
Connect with companies seeking credible, audit-grade ocean impact
Engage ocean-focused impact investors and foundations ready to back scalable solutions
