"Slush" is undeniably one of the largest start-up meetings in Europe, which is now also exported to Tokyo, Shanghai and Singapore. Where the Web Summit in Lisbon with its 60,000 visitors is more like a classic fair, Slush aims to be a tech festival, perhaps more targeted, more innovative and more relaxed. By supporting the training of students in entrepreneurship, "Slush" has this year added a new string to its bow to extend its influence in the global tech ecosystem.
