Munich Startup Award: A look back
It all began at Bits & Pretzels 2016: For the first time, Munich Startup presented the Munich Startup Award, endowed with €5,000, to the Munich startup that had performed best in the founders' festival's pitch competition. The ceremony didn't take place just anywhere, but right in the middle of Oktoberfest – except during the coronavirus pandemic, of course. Since this year, however, a lot has changed: The award is now part of the Munich Startup Festival. was awarded at the first edition Deepdrive – and at Bits & Pretzels, the Munich Startup Special Prize will be awarded to the best Munich startup at Bits & Pretzels. This prize is endowed with €2,500. Before that happens, let's take a look back at the Munich startups that have already been honored with a Munich Startup Award at Bits & Pretzels.
