What you need to know
Slush is built around high-density meetings between founders and venture investors. Its 2026 edition takes place over two days in Helsinki, supported by a wider week of side events, mentoring sessions and investor-focused programming.
The organiser presents the event as a company-building environment rather than a conventional trade show. Alongside stage content, the meeting platform and dedicated meeting area are central to the experience, making preparation and advance scheduling especially important.
