VTT is partnering with Slush again in 2026. As founders and investors from around the world gather in Helsinki, we’ll be there to bring breakthrough research, deep tech and new business opportunities into the conversation. Come meet us at our booth 6A3!
VTT has a strong track record of turning research into companies with global potential. In 2021–2025, VTT-originating startups attracted 12% (€880M) of the equity funding raised by all Finnish startups.
At Slush 2026, we’ll showcase new technologies, business opportunities and the people behind them. Meet us at our booth 6A3, get to know emerging deep tech startups and connect with VTT and VTT LaunchPad at selected side events during Slush week.
Meet VTT LaunchPad at Slush side events:
VTT LaunchPad and four of its incubator teams will participate in Knights of Nordics 2026, an invitation-only event that brings together selected startups, investors, and business leaders from across the Nordic innovation ecosystem.
