Since 2016, “Startup trifft Handwerk” has brought together two worlds that can benefit greatly from each other: innovative startups and the craft sector. On October 13, Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern (HWK Munich) and Munich Startup are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the joint event format. Once again, the spotlight will be on technologies and business models that help craft businesses tackle tangible challenges.
