Backing Europe's Digital Defenders: Coffee, Croissants & Cybersecurity
Slush officially starts at Messukeskus. Unofficially, it starts three kilometres away, with a flat white and a croissant.
eCAPITAL, OTB Ventures, United Ventures and Kibo Ventures open Slush week with a private breakfast on the future of cybersecurity and Europe's digital resilience. We talk about the technologies and companies defending Europe's critical systems, and about what it takes to build and back them.
In the room are founders, investors, corporates and LPs who came to Helsinki for Slush 2026, over coffee and croissants rather than across a stage.
We meet from 9 to 11 am for a private breakfast. The venue sits a few minutes from Helsinki Central Station and a short ride from Messukeskus. You make the Slush opening without rushing.
Places are limited and the guest list is curated by the hosts in order to bring together the key players in European cybersecurity. Confirmed guests then receive the exact address.
