After the presentation from Jussi, an eclectic and forward-thinking selection of startups from the Oulu region came up to the stage to showcase their assets through short, three-minute pitches. These companies range from those who have been established for a few years to fresh-faced enterprises that are barely a few months old. Over the course of around forty five minutes, an attentive audience learned about some of the innovative products and solutions being created in the worlds of AI, health tech, cyber security, AR/VR, clean tech and more.
The evening was rounded off with an overview of the upcoming return of Polar Bear Pitching on 29th February 2024, presented by Viera Karam, Head of Investor Relations at BusinessOulu. Audience members who were previously aware of the event were clearly excited by its comeback following a lengthy hiatus! There were also many attendees who were learning about it for the very first time and were curious to find out more.

Guests were busy networking after the conclusion of the event, as new global connections were formed ahead of the official start of Slush. Overall, this was a great event to be a part of and it was wonderful to see so many confident and sharp pitches from members of our diverse ICT cluster!
