Startup tickets for this year’s Slush, one of the top 5 world tech conferences, are sold out, and two startups from Serbia have another chance to join one of the biggest startup events and a gathering place for VC representatives from November 30th to December 1st in Helsinki!

Two tickets for this prestigious event will be provided by the Embassy of Finland in Belgrade, while Science and Technology Park Belgrade will support the departure of two startups to Helsinki by covering the costs of return flight tickets through the project “Technopark Serbia 2 – Boosting export through Technoparks”, with the support of the Swiss Government.

Startups can apply by filling out the form on the link HERE, until Monday, November 6 at 10 a.m.

This year, Slush will bring together more than 5,000 founders, 3,000+ investors and venture capital (VC) funds from around the world!
