Intelligent GLO in Slush 2023! We had the privilege of attending Slush 2023, the world’s leading startup event, held in Helsinki, Finland, from November 30 to December 1, 2023. The event was an incredible gathering of entrepreneurs, investors, and tech enthusiasts from all over the globe. The atmosphere was electric, with a palpable sense of excitement and innovation in the air. I was inspired by the passion and dedication of the founders I met, who are working on cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to change the world. We were also impressed by the diversity of the attendees, with people from all walks of life and backgrounds coming together to share ideas and collaborate on new projects. If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or anyone interested in the future of technology, I highly recommend attending Slush. It’s an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling inspired and motivated to make a difference in the world. Here are some of our key takeaways from Slush 2023: The future of technology is bright. The companies I met at Slush are developing innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Collaboration is key. The most successful startups are those that are able to collaborate with others to achieve their goals. Diversity is important. The tech industry needs to be more inclusive if we want to solve the world’s biggest problems. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have attended Slush 2023. It was an enriching experience that I will never forget. #slush #startup #business #growth
