Slush 2016: Hot Tech In Icy Finland

Tech Life

Available for over a year

Rory Cellan-Jones visits Finland’s capital Helsinki for the Slush 2016 tech gathering. He chats to Niklas Zennstrom, co-founder of Skype and now venture capitalist, on whether European entrepreneurs have reason for optimism. Plus he asks Chris Sacca, the Silicon Valley investor who spotted the early potential of Twitter and Uber among others, for a transatlantic view. And Rory finds out from educational games company Lightneer why Helsinki is a hub for mobile games developers. And he talks to the company relaunching the Nokia mobile phone brand. Presented by Zoe Kleinman, with Jane Wakefield from the BBC Online tech desk, and special guest Ingrid Lunden from TechCrunch. (Image: Niklas Zennstrom on stage at Slush 2016).
