The Atlantic Stakeholder Platform Conference (ASPC) 2025 will be held on November 13, 2025, in Galway, Ireland. Taking place one day after the Interreg Atlantic Area Annual Event, the ASPC will offer a unique opportunity for stakeholders to gather and reflect on the progress made under the Atlantic Action Plan 2.0, five years after its launch.
This year’s theme, “Tides of Cooperation: The Atlantic Strategy as a Catalyst for the European Ocean Pact”, will guide discussions aimed at reinforcing cooperation, maritime innovation, and sustainable development across the Atlantic region.
In close collaboration with the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, this joint approach showcases the strong partnership between programme authorities and the Atlantic Strategy to support coordinated action in the Atlantic basin.
