MARPRO Group joins Maritimt Forum to strengthen maritime collaboration in Sweden
MARPRO Group, a leading maritime recruitment and consultancy firm based in Denmark, has officially joined Maritimt Forum, Sweden’s central maritime interest organisation.
The partnership marks a significant step in strengthening cross-border collaboration and promoting innovation, sustainability, and talent development within the maritime industry. Founded nearly 30 years ago, Maritimt Forum serves as a vital platform for dialogue and cooperation across the Swedish maritime sector. The organisation unites a broad spectrum of stakeholders—from shipowners and ports to unions, marine technology companies, universities, and policy advocates. Its mission is clear: to foster a competitive and sustainable maritime industry, raise public awareness about maritime issues, and nurture a dynamic maritime cluster.
MARPRO Group’s decision to join aligns closely with this mission.
“We’re proud to become a part of Maritimt Forum and contribute to its important work in promoting a resilient, innovative, and green maritime sector,” said Jakob le Fevre, Managing Director of MARPRO Group. “As a company focused on connecting maritime talent with opportunity, we’re particularly aligned with the Forum’s efforts in education, workforce development, and addressing the ongoing skills shortage.”
Maritimt Forum plays an essential role in Sweden’s maritime ecosystem. Beyond providing a networking arena, the organisation is a driving force behind critical initiatives that support sustainable growth, including promoting the green transition, developing maritime education programs, and raising public awareness through high-profile events and campaigns. With a presence at influential venues such as Almedalen, The Swedish Parliament’s Maritime Network, and World Maritime Day, Maritimt Forum ensures that maritime issues are firmly on the political and social agenda. Their recent reports underscore the sector’s significance to Sweden’s economy, highlighting billions in contributions and thousands of jobs—figures that too often go unnoticed in mainstream discourse.
By joining Maritimt Forum, MARPRO Group brings international perspective, deep industry experience, and a strong commitment to building the next generation of maritime professionals. Together, MARPRO and Maritimt Forum aim to amplify their impact on the Scandinavian maritime sector—supporting innovation, sustainability, and talent for years to come.
