Delegation to SLUSH 2026 Registration closes: 09-11-2026 00.00

This November, Founders Growth Club is putting together a small delegation of Danish founders, investors and ecosystem leaders for Tallinn and Slush, 17–19 November.

The idea is to make the three days around Slush considerably more useful than simply attending the conference.

We start in Estonia – one of Europe's most remarkable startup cases.

A country of only around 1.4 million people has managed to produce Skype, Wise, Bolt, Pipedrive and a generation of founders who have gone on to build and invest in the next wave of companies.

We want to understand how.

On 17 November, we'll spend the day in Tallinn meeting some of the founders, investors and ecosystem builders behind Estonia's development, alongside a new generation of AI companies.

We are building the programme around profiles and organisations such as Ragnar Sass / LIFT99, Sten Tamkivi / Plural, Pipedrive, Bolt, government leaders working with Estonia's AI agenda and some of the country's most promising new AI founders.

In the evening, we travel together by ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki.

18 November: SLUSH

Your Slush 2026 ticket is included.

The day itself is yours to use where it creates the most value: investor meetings, founder meetings, stages, customers and side events.

Before the trip, we'll also go through the programme and share a curated selection of the side events and opportunities worth prioritising.

In the evening, we bring everyone back together for a Danish delegation dinner, followed by Slush side events and parties.

19 November: Helsinki

You can either return to Slush or join our Finnish ecosystem programme.

We're currently planning two visits:

• Maria 01 – Helsinki's central startup campus and community
• Aalto / A Grid – to see how Finland turns research, deep tech and university talent into new companies

We'll have lunch together, leave some time open for your own Slush meetings and side events, and finish with a delegation dinner before flying back to Copenhagen.

Startup participation
Through support from the Founders Growth Club, we are able to offer selected startup participants an exclusive startup price of €800.

The fee includes:

• Slush 2026 ticket (Startup tier)
• Two nights' accommodation in Helsinki, breakfast included
• Tallinn–Helsinki ferry
• Tallinn and Helsinki ecosystem programme
• Company and founder visits
• Delegation dinners and group lunch on Day 2
• Programme coordination and practical logistics
• Curated Slush side-event recommendations
• You arrange and cover your own flight from Denmark to Tallinn and return flight from Helsinki to Denmark.

We're deliberately keeping the delegation relatively small. The value should come as much from the group travelling together as from the individual meetings: a mix of founders, investors and institutions looking seriously at what Denmark can learn from the strongest technology ecosystems around us.

The delegation is powered by Danish Tech Startups
