The Impact Area in the backyard of Munich Startup Festival showcases what matters in a resilient impact ecosystem: diversity, impact, exchange. Here, founders, investors, and network partners meet – organized by the “Social Innovation” team of Munich’s Economic Development Agency.
The goal: to think and shape solutions for social and ecological challenges together. This is where new connections, partnerships, and perhaps the idea for the next major purpose-driven startup emerge.
A day for inspiration and exchange in the Impact Area
The Impact Area’s stage program brings together expertise, offers different perspectives, and enables networking:

The impact company develops the first web platform that brings artificial intelligence to heavy rainfall preparedness, enabling on-demand heavy rainfall hazard maps and the ability to simulate the effects of measures. Jan Boeckmann, CEO and CTO of Rapid Resilience:
“I’m really looking forward to Munich Startup Festival. As a young startup, we’re hoping for many exciting conversations, new contacts, and perhaps our first pilot customers who want to protect themselves from the consequences of the climate catastrophe with us.”
