Data Science at Slush 2016 -- Futurice

Slush, Europe's leading startup event, took place in Helsinki from November 30th to December 1st. Thousands of attendees including startups, investors, tech companies, and researchers came together to get a glimpse of the latest developments in a massive range of fields. Futurice was there in force: our Futucafe went on tour, providing good coffee and a meeting space for attendees, and we launched the Chilicorn Fund as a way to make the world a slightly better place. Our data science team went along too, and I'm going to talk about some of the trends we saw there. Machine learning, artificial intelligence, analytics, data science: these terms were on the lips of companies and speakers throughout Slush.
