Meet happiness at SLUSH

Welcome to the home of happiness

Finland is the happiest country in the world – six times in a row, according to the UN Happiness Report. For some, it may sound far-fetched, but happiness is also one of the factors that make Finland a prime location for creating world-class success stories.

JOIN OUR EVENTS AT Happiness Lounge DURING SLUSH 2023

The Finnish happiness is rooted in tremendous societal stability, with a high degree of equality and, among other things, political and civil freedom – we call this the infrastructure of happiness. And it is an essential ingredient to the thriving Finnish startup and innovation environment.

Slush is the world's leading startup festival, bringing together investors and companies. This year Business Finland is hosting a number of side events during the Slush week to showcase how foreign companies can benefit from collaboration with Finnish companies and ecosystems.

Are you ready to meet happiness?

Venue: Helsinki Exhibition Centre (Messukeskus), Conference Center (Siipi), Room 203

Conference Center entrance, Rautatieläisenkatu 3, 00520 Helsinki 
Southern entrance, Messuaukio 1, 00520 Helsinki
