Since 2016, “Startup Meets Craft” has brought together two worlds that have a lot to gain from each other: innovative startups and the skilled crafts sector. On October 13, the Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern (HWK Munich) and Munich Startup will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their joint event format. Once again, the focus will be on technologies and business models that support craft businesses with concrete challenges.
