The Impact Area in the backyard of the Munich Startup Festival demonstrates what matters in a resilient impact ecosystem: diversity, impact, and exchange. This is where founders, investors, and network partners meet – organized by the "Social Innovation" team of the Munich Economic Development Agency.
The goal: to jointly think about and design solutions to social and ecological challenges. This is where new connections, partnerships, and, who knows, perhaps the idea for the next big purpose-driven startup emerge.
