Mark your calendar: August 28 = Enschede Slush’D – the startup event of the East Netherlands.

Brought to you by Novel-T, in collaboration with REACH. A day where founders, investors, and innovators collide. Not your typical conference, but a high-energy mix of inspiration, connection, and action.

The Netherlands has always been a hub of innovation. From the microscope to WiFi and Bluetooth – our inventions have changed the world. And that pioneering spirit? Still going strong. Enschede Slush’D is all about those pioneers. It’s an official Slush satellite event – the iconic tech startup gathering in Helsinki that connects thousands of startups and investors every year.

This August, we’re bringing that same spark to Twente and The Netherlands. We celebrate where we come from, but our eyes are set on the future. Because it’s today’s founders who are writing tomorrow’s history.

So, are you ready to make your mark? Join the third edition of Enschede Slush’D. Meet investors. Share your vision. Build something bold. Because we know what small steps can lead to.
