📍 Location: Helsinki Expo and Convention Center / Messukeskus, Helsinki, Finland

Event detail

Slush brings together founders, investors, startup teams, media, and ecosystem builders from across Europe and around the world. Known for its founder-focused community and highly curated startup environment, Slush creates a valuable space for early-stage companies to meet the right people, sharpen their ideas, and explore the next steps toward growth.

For hardware startups, that next step often means moving beyond the prototype. A strong concept or working demo is important, but real market entry requires manufacturable electronics, reliable components, stable sourcing, testing, quality control, and a clear production plan.

At NexPCB, we help hardware innovators turn ambitious ideas into scalable products. If you are building IoT devices, robotics systems, AI-enabled hardware, medtech products, wearables, smart sensors, industrial electronics, energy systems, or consumer devices, we’d be glad to meet you at Slush 2026.

During Slush 2026, NexPCB looks forward to meeting founders, engineers, product teams, and investors working on electronics-enabled products.

We can discuss:

• PCB fabrication and PCBA manufacturing
• DFM, DFA, and production-readiness review
• Component sourcing and supply chain planning
• Prototype, pilot build, and volume production support
• Functional testing, inspection, and quality control
• Mechanical parts, enclosure integration, and final assembly
• Manufacturing planning for startups preparing to launch or scale

Whether your team is validating an early prototype, preparing for pilot production, or searching for a long-term manufacturing partner, NexPCB can help identify risks earlier and support a smoother path forward.

Hardware development comes with challenges that software teams do not always face. Every component choice, PCB layout decision, assembly process, and test requirement can affect cost, lead time, reliability, and scalability.

NexPCB supports startups, OEMs, engineering teams, and innovation groups by connecting product development with practical manufacturing execution. Our goal is to help teams reduce avoidable risk, improve production readiness, and build products that can perform in real-world conditions.

Slush 2026 is a strong opportunity to connect with founders and teams building the next generation of technology across AI, deeptech, medtech, energy, manufacturing, robotics, and connected devices.

If you are attending Slush 2026 in Helsinki, let’s meet and talk about how NexPCB can help bring your next hardware innovation to life.
