In collaboration with Enterprise Europe Network, Business Finland is hosting four side events at the Happiness Lounge during Slush 2026 to showcase how foreign companies, startups and investors can benefit from collaboration with Finnish companies and ecosystems.
During two days 18.-19.

Join us for inspiring discussions, practical insights and opportunities to connect with the people shaping tomorrow's healthier, safer and more resilient – happier – societies.
Each side event has a different focus and they are built around the following themes:
