How can startups and the city administration work together to advance the innovation landscape? This question is the focus of the City Demo Day, which is being organized by Referat für Arbeit und Wirtschaft of the state capital Munich At the event, which will take place for the second time on November 13th, representatives of the Munich city administration and other municipalities will meet the startup scene of Munich's innovation ecosystem.
