The A'Pelago Initiative kicks off the year with a multidisciplinary business event, the A'Pelago Winter Camp, taking place in the archipelago on January 25-26, 2024.

The theme for the Initiative's event year 2024 is Narrative. Throughout the year, there will be two events focusing on the theme from different perspectives in business.

"Compelling narration of challenges and solutions is a key prerequisite for the development of solutions that support the vitality of the archipelago. Creating high-quality narration requires, first and foremost, a humble willingness to listen to various stakeholders. Secondly, one must be able to condense the narrative into a clear and engaging whole. The vitality of the archipelago is influenced systematically by various societal actors. There is plenty of room for improvement in the fields of open communication and attractive branding. We can learn a lot from each other by listening to different stakeholders," says A'Pelago founder Timo Ketonen.
