European ambition needs European infrastructure

This year’s Slush theme, “Bet on Europe,” speaks directly to what we believe in: Europe’s ability to build globally successful technology companies, supported by a strong technology ecosystem of its own.

As a European-owned cloud provider founded in Finland, we’re part of that ambition. For founders, choosing cloud infrastructure is an early decision with lasting consequences. It shapes how you build and grow, and how much control you retain over your data.

At Slush, we want to talk about those choices. What are you building? What do you need from your cloud provider? And how can European infrastructure support your next stage of growth?

A shared history with Slush

Our relationship with Slush stretches back to 2014, when we were a Key Partner and hosted the event’s IT infrastructure, including its website and matchmaking service for companies and investors.

We returned as a Key Partner in 2015, providing the cloud infrastructure behind ticketing, registration, matchmaking, and more.

This November, we’re back to meet the founders and partners building Europe’s next generation of businesses.

Come meet the team

Visit our booth to meet the people behind UpCloud and discuss your infrastructure plans. From getting your first product off the ground to preparing for expansion, we’d like to hear what you’re working on.

If you’re building a startup, ask us about the UpCloud Startup Program. It offers eligible startups up to $25,000 in free cloud credits, backed by expert human support available around the clock.

We’ll also be meeting potential partners who share our commitment to strengthening Europe’s cloud ecosystem.

Let’s bet on Europe. See you at Slush!
