“1,000 meetings per hour” – This is what Slush is like in Helsinki

For years, Slush has attracted founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts from all over the world to wintry Finland – and it doesn't skimp on superlatives. This year, the organizers proudly declared the startup fair the "largest gathering of venture capital on the planet."

Slush 2023
Traditionally, Slush opens its stage program with a techno spectacle, followed by a short welcome message. This year, Slush President Linda Björkenheim, CEO Eerika Savolainen, and Aino Bergius (COO and CFO) greet the approximately 13,000 guests in the Helsinki exhibition hall. In doing so, they also set the agenda for the two-day event. After last year's event focused on current crises and possible technological solutions, this year's event is all about creating a better future through impact and sustainability. The main stage program can also be viewed in the Live stream on YouTube Follow – including rewind function. (Photo: Dustin Preick)
