Slush is one of Europe’s most important startup and tech events. Originally founded by students in Helsinki, Slush has evolved into an international focal point for the startup scene – featuring a unique atmosphere instead of a traditional conference setting. Every year, tens of thousands of founders, investors, and innovators gather to pitch, secure funding, and discuss the future of technology and business.

MediaTech Hub Potsdam will also be on site at Slush 2026 in Helsinki, alongside startups from the German ecosystem, including Berlin-based Lake System.

When? November 18–19, 2026

Where? Messukeskus, Helsinki, Finland
