It's a strange idea to come to Helsinki at this time of belarus mobile database year, when the sun rises after 10am and disappears at 3pm, …when it wants to rise. The magnet that attracts entrepreneurs, startup dreamers, investors, party-goers and volunteers is called " Slush ", the conference-festival-fair originally organized by Finnish students, little relayed outside the Scandinavian countries.

Yet, there would be something to talk about. This 11th edition of "Slush" brought together 3,100 start-ups , 1,800 investors, 20,000 visitors of 130 nationalities, 2,400 volunteers, 450 business leaders - all at an outside temperature of 2°C for two days in December. One more reason to find yourself warm inside in a half hygge, half nightclub atmosphere, after a visit to the Finnish forest offered to some of the event's privileged partners.
