DECEMBER 1–2 HELSINKI, FINLAND
The comeback you’ve been waiting for.
Slush 2021 is safely bringing together the world’s leading founders, investors, executives, and media for a curated gathering of 8,000 attendees at Helsinki Expo and Convention Center.
Our actions over the next decade will determine the course of humanity for generations to come. Entrepreneurs building scalable solutions will be at the core of creating the solutions that will make that future a bright one.
To fully harness the power of young companies in pursuit of progress, we need to reimagine what entrepreneurship is. For the past two decades, our ability to create meaningful change through technology has been on the decline. We invest more and receive less. Our continued progress as a species depends on us reversing this trend.
We call this the Entrepreneurial Renaissance.
EUROPE’S LARGEST GATHERING OF VC
Slush has grown into the largest single gathering of venture capital in the world – 1,500 investors ranging from VCs to angels, CVCs, and LPs, all looking for the next big thing. Check out who’s coming this year.
