Aiming High in SLUSH City

This week, Locat3d's leadership, board members, and owners have converged on the vibrant Slush City in Finland. With team members traveling from Finland, Canada, and Norway, the group of long-distance travelers finally gathered in Helsinki on Monday evening, ready for an exciting week ahead.

The last time the team met was in August, against the stunning backdrop of Mo i Rana, Norway. The summer retreat offered a mix of strategy sessions and invigorating outdoor activities like mountain hikes and sauna time. But the laid-back days of summer are a stark contrast to the fast-paced, high-energy agenda awaiting them at Slush.

A Key Opportunity for Locat3d
Board leader Johan W. Kvandal recognizes the hard work that led to Locat3d’s recognition as one of The Ones to Follow. This achievement secured their spot at Slush, where the stakes are high and the opportunities even higher.

What Are the Goals for Slush?
“Our goal at Slush is to connect with knowledgeable and dynamic investors,” says Kvandal. “Just days before Slush, we launched the onboarding process for the first version of our platform, inviting both buyers and suppliers to join. Now, we aim to strengthen our capital base to accelerate the development of an even more advanced and comprehensive version of the platform.”

The Ideal Investor
Locat3d isn’t just looking for any investor. The focus is on partners who bring more than funding. “We are primarily looking for investors with expertise in the digital sector,” Kvandal explains. “The next phase of our platform heavily integrates artificial intelligence (AI), so it’s critical for us to attract investors who understand its transformative potential. Additionally, we value those who are committed to sustainable business models.”

Ready for the Challenge
With the Slush program in full swing, Locat3d is gearing up for intensive networking and presentations. The team is prepared to showcase how their platform is set to revolutionize on-demand manufacturing while driving sustainability and innovation.
