Slush will return to Helsinki on 18 and 19 November 2026, bringing founders, investors and technology executives together for one of Europe’s largest startup and venture capital gatherings. The event has traditionally been held at the Messukeskus Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre and is known for connecting early stage founders with global investors across two intensive days of stage programming, curated matchmaking and side events.
Founded in 2008 and run as a not for profit, Slush has grown into an anchor of the Nordic technology calendar, drawing thousands of attendees, startups and investors from around the world each November. The 2026 edition continues the event focus on founder led company building and cross border investment, and follows recent years in which Slush has served as a meeting point for the wider European and international technology community.
