Slush'D Enschede 2024: Where Innovation Meets Cross-Border Collaboration!
On August 29, 2024, the second edition of Slush'D Enschede took place, an event that brings together startups and investors in the innovative environment of Twente. Inspired by the famous Slush conference in Helsinki, Slush'D Enschede provided a platform for ambitious startups to showcase their ideas and forge valuable connections.
This year, the focus was not only on local innovation but also on the crucial collaboration between the Netherlands and Germany. Thanks to the close cooperation between Novel-T and the REACH Start-up Center from Münster, Slush'D Enschede evolved into a cross-border event that united entrepreneurs from both countries. This partnership highlights the strong economic and technological ties between the Netherlands and Germany and creates new opportunities for startups to break through internationally. It also highlights the large potential of (tech) startups and scale-ups in the Dutch-German TECH.LAND region, which are crucial for driving industrial transition. In a time when (tech) innovation is essential to remain competitive in rapidly changing global markets, these companies are key to delivering the necessary solutions for societal challenges.
The event featured four stages and more than 40 speakers, covering topics ranging from high-tech innovations to sustainable business models. With over 500 participants, including a significant representation of German startups and investors, Slush'D Enschede demonstrated how cross-border collaboration is a driving force behind innovation and growth in the region.
Slush'D Enschede is more than just a networking event; it is a springboard for strengthening economic ties between the Netherlands and Germany and for creating a shared future filled with innovative solutions and entrepreneurial success.
Congratulations and sincere compliments to Novel-T, REACH Start-up Center, and all partners for organizing an outstanding event.
