Rooted in the untapped potential of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this event brings together global expertise and local drive to create a one‑of‑a‑kind experience for founders, investors, and innovators.
Born from the same movement that started in Helsinki and grew into one of the world’s most influential startup gatherings, Slush’D in Sarajevo is more than a conference – it’s a catalyst.In the heart of Sarajevo, a city with a rich cultural heritage and a growing tech ecosystem, we are building a bold, connected startup community.
For two days in October, Sarajevo becomes the hub where regional talent, global investors, and world-class speakers collide to redefine what’s possible for the next generation of companies.
Slush'D is a community-driven movement that empowers teams across the globe to create a catalyzation for their local ecosystem. All in the spirit of Slush's mission "to create and help founders that change the world".
Risk-aversion, fear of failure, the comfort of stable 9 - 5 jobs, and limited exposure to startup thinking
continue to block entrepreneurial action and experimentation.
Most potential founders lack hands-on experience, product-building skills -despite strong local engineering talent, and exposure to startup life. Without practical guidance or consistent support, many ideas never reach execution.
While regional investors are present and some offer pre-seed capital, they typically back startups with early traction or founders who can clearly articulate their vision. For most early teams, access to small starter checks, local support, and investor readiness remains a major hurdle, made worse by regulatory and structural barriers.
