Slush 2021: Finally Meeting Up With People Again

More than 2,000 investors went to Slush in Helsinki in 2019 – which made the event the largest gathering of venture capital in the world. The hosts want to repeat that success now after taking a year off. Being there proves that they pulled it off.

An important part of Slush – some even say the most important part – are the side events that are held during the entire week in Helsinki. The Hanken School of Economics, for example, presented not only an impressive breakdance performance, but also exceptional speakers. Slush founder Peter Vesterbacka, Taavet Hinrikus, the legendary first Skype employee and co-founder of (Transfer)Wise and Juhani Mykkänen, co-founder of Wolt, shared what they expect from the startups of the future.
