The innovative company represented the East of England after winning a competition to join the delegation. Babita Devi, Chief Commercial Officer at SKC Games Studio, was thrilled by the opportunity.

She said: “It was an honour to showcase our product 1956 Individuals, among other innovative businesses from the region.”

Attracting over 13,000 founders, investors and innovators from 90+ countries, Babita said the event was a whirlwind of networking, inspiring talks and game-changing ideas. From scheduled meetings to chance encounters at side events, she said every moment was packed with opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.

Babita added: “The UK has room to grow. While many countries had a strong presence, I’d love to see a bigger spotlight on UK start-ups next year, perhaps through a dedicated stand or fringe event to showcase our innovation and talent.

“Winning the competition to attend made this experience even more special. It was a proud moment to represent the East of England and demonstrate the innovative work happening in our region.

“To anyone considering attending in the future, I’d wholeheartedly recommend it. Slush is more than an event – it’s an opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired. Let’s make 2025 even bigger and better for the UK!”
