Slush Global Impact Accelerator (GIA) is a
program created in collaboration with the
Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and other
multiple partners globally.
The purpose is to
support impact- driven startups and showcase the
exciting business opportunities in emerging
markets, which are also vital for implementing
the Agenda 2030 and solving complex challenges.
In addition, the program focuses on strengthening
the networks between the impact actors, engaging
the Nordic community with the global impact
entrepreneurs, and enhancing the mobilization of
capital towards impactful business.
GIA 2017 brings impact-driven entrepreneurs
from emerging markets to Helsinki to accelerate
their business, attract additional financing, and
build long-lasting networks.
The program includes
online pre-event coaching and Helsinki BootCamp
program from November 25– December 2, 2017
culminating in Slush.
