Showcasing Turku's Best at ArcticEvening Next Week: Pitching, Talks, Free Beer


    Arctic15: Exit Path still looms high on the horizon as the preparations for our third edition of ArcticStartup’s own conference become ever more frantic. While the main event is just around the corner, it’s time to take an evening off and hit the buzzing Turku region with its lively and diverse startup scene.

    On the 14th May we’ll be meeting in the heart of the city at Boost Turku (Tykistökatu 4 b, Turku) where we’ll have some of Turku’s most interesting startups on stage, sharing why they exists, what they do and how.

    It seems that this time around, this might be not just for the locals. When setting up the event, the Turku community wanted to showcase the best, and as a result, the event has grown into almost a mini conference, so do not miss it, you might consider travelling up to Turku to check the vibe.

    There will be a small pitching competition, and the winner will get a demo stand to Arctic15, where they will get to meet amazing speakers such as Trip Hawkins, founder of EA and Justin Waldron, founder of Zynga. Not to mention a chance to meet the absolute top European VC’s. If you did not get your early bird ticket yet, do it now, only days left until that runs out.

    Don’t forget, we’ll be providing plenty of free snacks and beer to make the networking more fun, as always! Plus we’ll be giving away tickets to Arctic15, so don’t miss it!
