Think ahead to autumn now: we are once again taking four Munich startups to Slush 2026 in Helsinki. Applications for the package including entry, logo placement at the joint stand, and invitation to the side event are possible until August 16.

Europe is taking off – and Slush 2025 provides the proof. In Helsinki, the tech scene stages its century moment: 13,000 visitors, 6,000 startups, and a founder who is revered like a pop star in his home country. Anton Osika, the mind behind Lovable, the fastest-growing startup of all time, shows how an open-source experiment became a global AI unicorn. But his appearance stands for more than just a personal triumph: Europe stands at a historic turning point. Talent, ambition, and a maturing ecosystem meet structural brakes and the question of whether the continent will shape its own technological future. First published on: November 20, 2025

When Slush 2025 starts in Helsinki, Munich Startup will be there again—together with four innovative young companies from Munich that will use the international stage to fuel growth and forge new partnerships.

Outside the slush of snow, inside the money: in Finnish Helsinki, the startup and investor scene gathers again for their annual exchange. And in 2024 too, the “largest gathering of venture capital on the planet” manages to exceed its own superlatives once more.

Next week it’s happening: Slush is taking place again in Helsinki – one of the most important international networking events and tech conferences. Hardly any other event has a higher investor density. Munich Startup is participating with several partners and startups.

Slush, which takes place on November 20 and 21 in Helsinki, is one of the most important international networking events and tech conferences. Few events have a higher density of investors. This year, Munich Startup is again offering three startups the opportunity to present themselves there. Applications for these spots are possible until August 23.

UnternehmertTUM, Baystartup, Celonis, and many early-stage startups – at Slush in Helsinki, you don’t have to look far to find representatives of the Munich ecosystem. How did they experience the conference?

For years, Slush has attracted founders, investors, and tech enthusiasts from around the world to wintry Finland – and doesn’t hold back on superlatives. This year, organizers proudly declared the startup fair the “largest concentration of venture capital on the planet”.

When Helsinki, Finland’s capital, becomes the meeting point of the international startup scene on November 30 and December 1, Munich of course cannot be missing. That’s why Munich Startup will again be represented with a booth at Slush. And like last year, we’re taking startups from Munich with us. Applications for these places are possible until August 11.

Four Munich startups were given the opportunity to present themselves at this year’s Slush in Helsinki. After two days of the trade fair and side events, they draw their conclusions.

Neon lights, techno, and more visitors than ever before: Slush in Helsinki attracts startups, investors, and tech enthusiasts from around the world. We took a look around Helsinki for you.
