Slush’s new virtual solution: discover the French Tech companies brought to you by Business France.

Despite the health situation, this year was no exception when it comes to the partnership between Business France and Slush. With the support of Laposte, Dassault Systèmes, CCI Grand-Est, RisingSud and Choose Paris Region, 18 French startups and an accelerator are part of the French delegation on the new virtual solution set up by Slush, which represents the Nordic startup ecosystem.

To help startups in this period where in-person meetings are not possible, Slush offers a virtual platform, Node by Slush, that is open from September until the end of December to enable B2B meetings. In addition, different kinds of events are organised to activate the community, for instance the Slush 100 pitching competition, matchmaking and “Community Gatherings” with mentoring sessions and keynote speeches from CEOs of the likes of Vinted and Spotify.

This year, the French companies of the delegation are looking to raise up to 30 million euros, not to mention the expansion to international markets. With that in mind, the companies were coached during 3 months: pitching training in English, feedback from the Head Coach of Sampo Accelerator, presentations from Nordic investors who gave the keys to success to make it in the Nordics.

Discover the new French revolution on the Node by Slush platform.

From in-person to virtual: The Slush event attracts 2,000 investors and 20,000 visitors from all over the world every year. Turning such a flagship event into a virtual solution took a great deal of effort from the organizers.

“In order to help French exhibitors to qualify their meetings on the Node platform, Business France organized mentoring sessions throughout Autumn. Startups could thus prepare for their pitch and for their meetings with leading investors. The delegation was able to get tips on the use of the platform by a Slush employee as well as get an immersion in the Nordic VC ecosystem. This was real international support from a distance”, says Clément Lepert from Business France.

The Nordic startup ecosystem is a vibrant one: In 2019, 548 million euros were invested by Finnish VCs in startups. In addition, Helsinki, the Finnish capital, has been ranked the 4th most emerging startup ecosystem.
