CELEBRATING
ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Slush has grown from a single gathering in Helsinki to a series of events organized all around the world. Our crown-jewel event is our annual Slush event, but we also host smaller get-togethers around the globe.

It all started in 2008 in Helsinki with a one-day affair made up of around 250 people. Pretty intimate, if you ask us. While the size of our event has grown by leaps and bounds, our goal has stayed the same: we focus on how best to serve startup ecosystems across the world.

As a company, we try to serve startups, founders, and investors through our main annual Slush event as well as our products: startup media Soaked by Slush, online community Node by Slush, and our smaller global events Slush’D.

GIN & TECH

Do you want to share knowledge, experience, and networks to help early startups and founders evolve? Then attend our event, Gin & Tech at INCUBA, where startups from INCUBA and the Aarhus Startup community pitch to mentors, investors, business leaders, and specialists.

The event starts with a round of focused pitches followed by G&Ts and an opportunity for informal conversations and an exchange of experiences.

Startups have the opportunity to present their products/services and connect with mentors, investors, corporates, and specialists. The aim is to provide companies with useful feedback, help them open doors, and lay the groundwork for future collaborations and investments.

Target audience

the event is aimed at mentors, investors, business leaders, and other professionals interested in sharing their knowledge. All you need to bring is your good mood and your best advice.

Program:

15:15 Welcome by INCUBA

15:20 Pitch round

16:00 Networking / informal sparring

sTARTUp Day 2024 is a three-day business festival with a marvelous stage program, effective matchmaking, hands-on seminars, a demo area full of innovation, and vibrant side events. The inspirational-educational program consisted of various topics – from mental health to space tech, founder stories to aviation, and deeptech to the creative economy.

We claim to be the most startup-minded business festival, but what does that mean? In short, it’s a way of thinking. You don’t need to be a startup to have a startup mindset! It’s about focusing on growth, working smart, not hard, having a bias towards action, and perhaps most importantly, being adaptable in situations of uncertainty. Read more here.

In 2023, sTARTUp Day took place for the seventh time, bringing together over 150 world-class speakers, 264 startups, 230 investors, and 3200 attendees from 45 different countries all over the world. It’s a community-organized festival, organized by the city of Tartu, the University of Tartu, Tartu Science Park, Contriber, Tartu Biotechnology Park, Tartu Business Advisory Services, Tartu Centre for Creative Industries, Fractory, and Swedbank.

The international activities of sTARTUp Day 2024 introducing Tartu and Estonia as attractive tourism destinations for business and networking are supported by the European Regional Development Fund (30 000 euros for 1 event).

We expect the participants of sTARTUp Day 2024 to feel inspired and have a better knowledge of building a business, and more companies to be started both in Tartu and in Estonia as a whole. In addition to that, sTARTUp Day 2024 will likely increase the number of tourists and brand Tartu as one of the most entrepreneurial cities in the region.

sTARTUp Day is bringing together startup-minded people to celebrate entrepreneurship in the smart city of Tartu.
