The Shift: Industrial tech drinks @SLUSH — hosted by KOMPAS VC, Idékapital & RunwayFBU
Join us at The Shift!
As Slush heats up, join us for The Shift — the 2nd edition annual pre-drinner meet-up for industrial tech investors driving Europe’s next big transformation.
Drinks will flow, ideas will collide, and conversations will range from resilient supply chains to the renaissance of European manufacturing (and yes, someone will probably bring up quantum).
On Day 1 of Slush, we’re taking over one of Helsinki’s favourite cocktail bars for a night of connection among those building the next industrial era.
Hosted by Idékapital, KOMPAS VC, and RunwayFBU — funds investing in the technologies powering the new industrial age.
This event fills up fast. RSVP is required. We’ll approve industrial investor enthusiasts on a rolling basis.
