Slush sees VTT as a powerhouse of science-driven innovation and startups, and for good reason. VTT is one of Europe’s leading research organisations, known for tackling global challenges with science-based solutions. Its deep tech incubator, VTT LaunchPad, develops fundable spin-off ventures based on VTT technologies geared for global growth.
The results speak for themselves: in 2024, 15% of all equity capital funding raised by Finnish startups was secured by VTT startups - altogether €207M raised by 16 companies.
“VTT spin-offs are solid, high-impact ventures – no-fad investments – building new scalable industries from resource-efficient and resilient biotech, smart electronics, and small modular reactors to quantum computing, to name a few”, says Lotta Partanen, Head of Incubation and Acceleration, VTT.
At Slush 2025, VTT will showcase a fresh line-up of venture teams ready to raise funding, alongside some of its most successful alumni. At the Partner Booth, visitors can look forward to dynamic pitching sessions and direct conversations with the teams building the industries of tomorrow. Slush is the place where forward-looking investors, partners, and markets connect with science-driven ventures from VTT - ready to scale and shape the future.
