Slush, a leading startup and tech event facilitating meetings between the founders of startups and investors, is back. Held annually in Helsinki, Finland, Slush 2022 is scheduled for November 17 and 18 to build a worldwide startup community.
This year, a record 72 Dutch startups will be in attendance – the biggest representation of Dutch startups to date. It is great news for not only the Dutch startup community but also for Slush as an event that provides a platform for these businesses to showcase their innovation and connect with investors worldwide.
Four technical universities, and several regional incubators, facilitators and accelerators, and governmental agencies will be part of the Dutch delegation
The Dutch 4TU Impact Challenge will have its finale on November 16, just a day before Slush, providing the perfect opportunity for the eight finalists to present themselves in front of an international audience.
To boost and pool technical expertise, the four technology universities in the Netherlands are united in the 4TU.Federation. With the Dutch 4TU Impact Challenge, they offer the brightest entrepreneurial minds of the four technical universities a platform to develop their businesses.
We have made a list of Amsterdam-based startups that will participate in Slush this year.
