MCBW START UP 2016: Let's move business

Let's Move Business – With a clear announcement, the Munich Creative Business Week (MBCW) started a new round this year. Part of the diverse program of the MCBW was also the Startup Demo Night. Last year, the event took place at the Munich Literaturhaus, but this year's Demo Night filled the Alte Kongresshalle with approximately 40 exhibitors. The goal of the evening was to connect founders and startups with agencies, companies, and potential investors, providing a platform for the creative community. Naturally, Munich Startup couldn't be left out of this networking event.

The MCBW Demo Night showcases current trends and movements among creative young entrepreneurs. This year, design-oriented startups once again had the opportunity to present their ideas and products to a larger audience. Exciting projects were on display: from foldable solar textiles for ecological expeditions to sugar-based biobatteries to creative projects with refugees.

The Munich background magazine “The Context”, which has just successfully completed its Crowdfunding campaign was present at the Demo Night. Co-Founder  Bernhard Scholz was enthusiastic about the event:

The evening is superbly organized, with creatives from Munich and the surrounding area on hand, and the entire room is buzzing with energy! The Startup Night here at MCBW is a fantastic opportunity for us to present our magazine "Der Kontext" to a fantastic, interested audience. Thank you for all the great and, above all, inspiring conversations.

How to start a business?

What do I actually have to consider when starting a business? How do I get financing, and where can I find coaching opportunities? To further promote the startup spirit, important players from the (Munich) startup scene were present at the Demo Night alongside the exhibiting startups. In addition to Munich Startup, creative founders were also able to get involved with the Startup Unit of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and BayStartup obtain helpful information or contact Startnext learn more about crowdfunding.

Let's move business forward!

In this constructive yet relaxed atmosphere, this year's MCBW motto was perfectly realized. The networking continued even after the official end of the Demo Night – with musical accompaniment from BAM BAM – THE MECHANICAL SEQUENCER! With that in mind, we're already looking forward to next year.
