Nordic and Estonian DefenceTech to shine at Slush side-event

Estonian and Nordic DefenceTech meets global audience: major pitch event brings together the region's best startups with leading investors on November 18 in Helsinki.

There’s no DefenceTech ecosystem more dynamic than the one in the Nordics, with Estonia at its core. And there’s no startup conference in Europe bigger than Slush, with thousands of high-profile guests gathering in the snowy capital of Finland each year.

This November, a unique opportunity emerges to take the best of the two worlds: Defence Ecosystem of Innovators side-event is set in Helsinki, bringing together the brightest minds in defence technology and investment for what promises to be Northern Europe’s largest defence pitch event.

Hosted by the Finnish Business Angels Network (FiBAN) alongside EUDIS Matchmaking, this exclusive gathering on November 18th will showcase cutting-edge solutions from pre-selected defence, security, and dual-use startups to an audience of angel investors, defence VCs, and military industry leaders.

Invest Estonia is proud to be an official partner, and Estonian innovators will show their latest developments in DefenceTech, as the country put record numbers in the sector and welcomes foreign investors.

The event takes place as an official Slush side event at Valo Hotel and Work. The program will feature keynotes and panel discussions featuring industry thought leaders, dedicated pitching tracks for startups and scale-ups, and networking sessions.

Registration is limited to FiBAN members, partners, Slush Investor Ticket holders, and specially invited guests from EU countries, Norway, and Ukraine.
