Together with VTT, our long-time partner for the seventh year in a row, we share the goal of changing the world at scale. Slush 2024 will be a continuation of our shared journey in helping science-based spin-offs reach the next level.
VTT is a leading technical research organisation in Europe with the promise to take on the world’s biggest challenges. VTT views startups as one way to live that promise. More than 60 companies have spun off from VTT over time, and annually, some 10% of the capital funding raised by all Finnish growth companies is attracted to VTT spin-offs. Since 2019, VTT has its own deep tech startup incubator, VTT LaunchPad.
“VTT’s commitment to deeptech innovation aligns perfectly with Slush’s mission to support groundbreaking startups. We’re excited to continue this partnership, showcasing VTT’s impact at Slush and together driving world-changing technologies forward.”
- Aino Bergius, CEO at Slush
The goal of VTT LaunchPad is to bring VTT’s researchers and technology together with the best business minds and investors to create global impact. By gathering investors and startup ecosystem players from all over the world, Slush provides a unique opportunity for that.
“The most impactful way to drive radical industrial transformation is to create highly capable and well-funded deep tech startups. VTT spin-offs accelerate the change.”
- Lotta Partanen, Head of Incubation and Acceleration, VTT.
At the VTT Booth, attendees can see showcases of the current spin-off incubation teams and innovative technologies. The goal is to bring together incubation teams and investors to explore collaboration opportunities for growth companies and connect with future stakeholders sharing the mission to drive global impact.
