That a visit to the fair is worthwhile is also confirmed Manuel Opitz, CEO and CO-Founder of Deepeye Medical. He was part of the Munich delegation last year and commented:
"I'm impressed by the response rate for investor inquiries we received at Slush: Seven out of ten responded to our request, we scheduled six meetings, and all of the investors showed up. We even had three more investor inquiries. I don't quite remember that from Bits & Pretzels. Secondly, I thought the side events and pre-events on Day 0 were fantastic; they're a great way to network with sector-specific investors and startups in a small setting."
