Slush 2026: What an SME Consultant Looks For in Helsinki
What is on stage at Slush today becomes standard software in one to two years. Why I am heading back to Helsinki and what my clients get out of it.
An invitation from Tim Voigt brought me to a netunity event as a guest. Here is what I took away about alliances, the northern German scene, and the value of real collaboration.

Some doors only open when someone holds them open for you.
In my case that was Tim Voigt, who invited me as a guest to a netunity event via a Green Card. So I was there not as a member but as a guest. And that is exactly what made the evening special for me, because as a guest you go in without preconceptions and simply listen.
The whole thing was hosted in the offices of the agency h2f, which also helps shape the nÖRD. The venue alone showed how closely the northern German digital and creative scene is connected. You sit together, and suddenly all the threads between agencies, conferences, and companies tie into one another.
In terms of content, the evening revolved around the alliance itself: how do you keep working together meaningfully as a group, how does a network like this stay alive and useful for everyone involved. These are questions I know from my own work, just on a larger scale.
For me as a guest, the biggest gain was simply this: the people. I got to meet fascinating business people from very different backgrounds, people I would not have come across in my everyday work. Encounters like these often spark the projects no one had on their radar before.
And it fits my conviction: no one gets far on their own. I am deliberately building NordFlux as a reliable point of contact with a strong network behind it. Evenings like this one are a reminder that collaboration is not a nice extra, but the real engine.
NordFlux builds digital employees for organisations: automations and AI agents that take over repetitive work. You stay in control.

colorcloud 2026 confirmed what I see in every client conversation: there is enormous potential in Microsoft 365 that most companies never touch.
Why NordFlux is part of Digitalents, a network of young companies driving digitalisation in northern Germany's mid-sized sector, and what my clients get out of it.
The exchange at the netunity event confirmed once again that the best automation projects grow out of genuine conversations, not forms. If you would rather get to know NordFlux in person before requesting a quote, our first meeting is an open conversation about your situation and whether we are a good fit.
