Slush13 wrap up

Slush 2013 is now officially over and Grand Cru is honoured to have been so involved in making this year’s conference such a big success for everyone. Let’s have a look at the summary of Grand Cru’s participation in this year’s event.

Slush officially kicked off on Tuesday night at the Grand Cru sponsored opening party, hosted at Virgin Oil Co. We were thrilled to see so many excited Slush participants at the party, enjoying a glass of Grand Cru bubbly.

On Wednesday, our CEO Markus Pasula gave a speech on “Building The Next Generation of Mobile Games - One Block At a Time” on the Blue Stage. Not only did he give a preview of Supernauts but he also announced that Supernauts will be officially launched in Finland on independence day. So Finns, don’t forget to download Supernauts on the 6th of December!

Celine Pasula, CFO at Grand Cru later gave a talk on the important role played by Tekes in the Finnish game industry, and for Grand Cru’s development in particular.

The second day of Slush continued, allbeit with a few sore heads from the previous night’s Supercell AfterParty. Gaming is definitely the hottest topic at Slush this year, and the theme continued into the second day, with talks by many game industry veterans, including Ilkka Paananen, Will Kassoy and many others. We are very happy to see that Slush has been so successful on bringing together so many great people and great startups under one roof. Let’s hope for an even bigger and better Slush next year!
