THE SPIRIT OF HELSINKI: Start me up

As the weather is at its worst with sleet in November and slush reigns supreme Slush arrives and dries up the streets and lights up the mind.

Slush is the biggest start up event in Europe. Slush brings together international growth companies, investors and media, and stirs up a forward-leaning atmosphere on the stands, in speeches and parties, which you wish you could bottle up for the dark winter months.

The whole city participates so join in. Nerds do it better
