\"Slush<\/a>
As in previous years, the focus is primarily on dealmaking: According to the organizers, 4,600 early-stage startup founders will meet 2,600 investors, making Slush the largest gathering of venture capital in the world. And attendees can even follow at least one of the deals live: The winner of the Slush 100 pitching competition will receive a \u20ac1 million investment from five renowned investors.

\"Slush<\/a>
Despite all the light in the halls and the bright prospects, Slush begins in darkness: In their welcoming address, the two CEOs of Slush, Eerika Savolainen and Mikko M\u00e4ntyl\u00e4, pose the question, "Where has the future gone?" Instead of all the things we imagined for the future last year, we find ourselves in a present full of crises. Yet they are also certain that technological developments will lead to solutions, pointing to advances in areas such as biotech and energy security. This sets the tone for the startup investors gathered in Helsinki. (Image: Riikka Vaahtera)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"Slush<\/a>
For Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin (right), one thing is clear: Europe must become more independent. It doesn't matter to her whether it's in terms of energy, raw materials, or high technology. Democratic states should no longer find themselves in positions where they can be blackmailed by autocracies. She also emphasizes that the necessary investments must be made now, as it will take a few years for them to have an impact and, for example, for a microchip factory in Europe to be able to produce at the highest global level. She also sees governments as having a responsibility to create an innovation-friendly environment. The Slush stage program can be found on YouTube<\/a> Follow live.

Representing in the midst of the hustle and bustle four startups the Munich ecosystem<\/a>: Farminsect, Fernride, Justt, and Mily Technologies. At the joint booth of the Startup Champs (Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, and Berlin), they vie for the attention of trade fair visitors and take advantage of the opportunity to meet with the investors gathered in Helsinki. On the evening of the first day of the fair, they will then pitch to a select audience at an exclusive side event. (Image: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"German<\/a>
Opposite the Munich Startup booth, German startups will pitch on the German Pitching Stage. For two days, founders will present themselves and their ideas. With approximately 30 square meters more space than last year, the organizers, led by the AHK Finland, have created another hotspot for the trade fair. (Image: Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Of course, numerous other ecosystems are also taking advantage of the opportunity to present themselves: Representatives from France, Switzerland, Poland, Ireland, and even Fukuoka, Japan, are filling the exhibition hall. Milan is going even further: The Italian metropolis is using Helsinki's digital advertising spaces to display a wide variety of ads.
