Slush 2018
WORLD’S LEADING STARTUP EVENT.
During what is – let’s be honest – the sh*ttiest weather season of the year, Slush brings together the leading actors of the global tech scene to Helsinki for something very special. Described by many as “Burning Man meets TED”, the event has grown in just a few short years to 20,000 attendees and 1 million live stream viewers.
In 2017, over 2,600 startups, 1,500 venture capitalists, and 600 journalists from over 130 countries gathered to Slush to drive business, and to experience the phenomenal atmosphere.
NOT THE CALIFORNIAN SUN, BUT HONEST SLUSH.
Slush has grown from a 300 person assembly to a world-renowned event, now spreading globally. The philosophy behind Slush has remained the same: to help the next generation of great, world-conquering companies forward.
CELEBRATING ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
Held during the darkest time of the year in Helsinki, Finland, Slush has always been characterized by a unique energy and enthusiasm. The very core of Slush is to facilitate founder and investor meetings and to build a world-wide startup community.
Slush is a student-driven, non-profit movement originally founded to change attitudes toward entrepreneurship. In 2016, Slush was organized in Tokyo, Shanghai and Singapore.
ONE-OF-A-KIND COMMUNITY.
Think of Slush as a collision of a festival and a conference. It’s not a business, but a community of people who love what they do.
Slush is run by the youth who want to make a difference in their societies. Several successful entrepreneurs such as Niklas Zennström (Skype & Atomico), Taizo Son (GungHo), Ilkka Paananen (Supercell), and Risto Siilasmaa (Nokia) among others, have already become a part of the non-profit initiative that is radically changing how entrepreneurship is perceived in Northern Europe, Japan, and China.

1ST BPW NETWORKING NIGHT
On the 4th of January we kick of the year 2018 with our 1st networking night. In cooperation with Berliner Volksbank the BPW welcomes founders and start-ups to use this evening to build up and extend their network. Of course all participants also have the opportunity to get to know the BPW network and to discuss their own start-up plans with industry experts, as well as exchanging views and experiences among each other.
Experience former BPW teams live on stage with their pitches and vote for your favorite. Together with the TU Berlin and Berliner Volksbank the StarTUp Award is given to three young companies. At the same time this is a good opportunity for the audience to get an impression on how to convince with a short pitch. Afterwards, the teams are available for questions and report on their own start-up process.
The 1st networking night is a good platform to find the right ingredients for a successful start to the business.
Our meeting point helps to find a suitable discussion partner and guests can also look for potential co-founders or even search for competencies.
And remember: Five days later, the first deadline to hand in your business concept in the BPW competition ends! A unique opportunity to get rid of burning questions.
