Where Green Tech Meets Industry - SLUSH SIDE-EVENT
Meet leading industrial companies looking to meet new green technologies, solutions and startups!
During Slush Week, the Green Line ecosystem, Crazy Town and EriCa Green Chemistry Park bring selected green tech startups and industrial companies around the same tables for focused matchmaking discussions.
This is not an investment pitching event. The focus is on exploring potential business and technology collaboration, building relationships with industrial partners and identifying opportunities worth developing further.

Who should apply?
We are looking for green tech and industrial technology startups and scaleups developing solutions relevant to the green transition and industrial transformation.
Potential areas include, for example:
clean and renewable energy & water
water, energy and resource efficiency
circular economy, material recovery and industrial side streams
wood- and fibre-based materials, packaging and new applications
textile and plastics recycling
new and sustainable materials
industrial decarbonization
industrial processes and manufacturing
digital and AI solutions for industry
other technologies supporting the green transition
How does the event work?
Industry reverse pitches & speed-dating: Quick corporate reverse pitches followed by small-group speed-dating sessions at corporate tables.
Networking dinner: Continue the conversations and deepen connections over food, drinks, and open networking.
The goal is simple: identify potential matches worth continuing after Slush Week (pilots, technical validation, commercial partnerships, or customer relationships).
Why join?
Instead of trying to find the right people in the middle of Slush, you get the opportunity to have focused conversations with industrial companies actively interested in new solutions.
Come prepared to explain what you solve, where your solution could create value and what kind of collaboration you are looking for.
Participation is free, but places for startups are limited. Startups are confirmed on rolling basis.
Please note: Registration does not automatically confirm participation in the event. As the number of startup places is limited, participants will be selected based on their fit with the participating corporate partners.
The event is organized by Crazy Town, EriCa Green Chemistry Park, and the Green Line ecosystem.
