Slush 17 welcomed more than 17 000 visitors from 120 countries all over the globe. The event brought together the leading actors of the global tech scene for something very special: the world’s leading start-up event. It gathered the top startups from Europe and key investors from the Nordics, Asia and Northern America, the international media, the most promising talent, its well-known partners, and all potential customers.
