What is A'Pelago Decelerator?

The Decelerator is a comprehensive concept developed by A’Pelago, designed to support the wellbeing and resilience of entrepreneurs, Blue Economy actors, and other changemakers in a rapidly evolving world. It offers events, spaces, and moments where you can slow down, reflect, and strengthen yourself both as an individual and as a leader.

The Decelerator concept includes an annual flagship event as well as a series of smaller, themed gatherings. The event at the end of this year, “From Storm to Calm,” is the first public opening of this initiative. It will take place in 2026 at Herrankukkaro, Naantali. The ticket includes the program, all meals, and accommodation. Please notice that the event language is Finnish and partly Swedish.
