Only a few more days – and then Munich will fill up not only with Oktoberfest visitors, but also with startups, investors, and successful entrepreneurs from all over the world! Around 3,600 participants are expected at Bits & Pretzels, the three-day startup festival.
The launch will take place on Sunday, September 27. Mayor Schmid will be present on the opening day, among others, and will present the advantages of the Bavarian capital as a startup location to the international audience.
The first two days at the International Congress Center of Messe München (ICM) are also packed with keynotes from well-known founders, varied panels and the startup exhibition.
