Decelerator 2026: From Storm to Calm

A’Pelago is hosting the first Decelerator event, aimed at busy, stressed, and high-paced entrepreneurs and experts – in other words, everyone.

The goal of the event is to provide a balance alongside growth seminars, accelerators, funding rounds, and business kick-offs – a place where you can learn, network, and find inspiration in a calmer, more reflective environment. The diverse program offers new experiences and ideas for all participants.

Business talk takes a back seat and peace is found.
Here, the sea makes an impact – This is blue wellbeing.

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 event “From Storm to Calm,” is the first public opening of this initiative. It will take place in 17-18.4.2026 in the Finnish archipelago (Herrankukkaro). The ticket includes the program, all meals, accommodation and underground smoke sauna experience. In addition to the sauna, guests can also relax in hot tubs and seawater pools, as well as refresh themselves in the sea.

Please notice that the event language is Finnish and partly Swedish.

The program concludes after lunch and the last part of the program at 14.00. on 18.4.

• Sensobic

Lastly, there will be a chance to enjoy an evening campfire, Stick-roasted fish and sausages cooked over an open fire.
