Helsinki's deal-focused startup conference and the summer counterpart to Slush, now in its 15th year. The whole format is built around pre-booked matchmaking rather than stage time: 600+ startups and 400+ investors from 60+ countries, plus themed Defence Tech, Health Tech, AI and Space Tech summits. Founders go specifically to fill a calendar with relevant investor meetings before the summer break, which is why it punches above its ~2,500 headcount.
