From September 29 to October 1, Bits & Pretzels offers action-packed days at Munich’s trade fair and the traditional finale on the Wiesn. Here the focus is entirely on networking, briefly interrupted by the presentation of the Munich Startup Special Prize, endowed with 5,000 euros, which is awarded to the best Munich startup at Bits & Pretzels.
nnnnBut already in the days leading up to it, Munich Startup presents itself at the founder festival: Just like last year, with a lounge where we offer you exciting content together with Munich Business, the economic development department of the City of Munich. Various experts from the startup ecosystem will give you insights and tips and are ready to answer your questions. Additionally, on the second day of the fair, you can look forward to presentations on topics such as startup financing, impact startups and social entrepreneurship, or startup funding and promotion. You’ll find the lounge in the startup area of the fair in hall B0 on the first two days of the fair.
