Urban nature meets entrepreneurial spirit at Justnature

On May 13, 2025, the City of Munich invites participants to the Munich Urban Colab for pitching and networking as part of the EU project Justnature. The focus will be on urban greening and innovative solutions from companies. Startups can apply for participation until May 4.

The EU project Justnature is looking for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Munich and the surrounding area that are rethinking urban spaces: with technical innovations, digital tools, or creative communication around green and open spaces. Specifically, these could be tools for analysis, planning, and visualization, or an innovative approach to open space planning and design. The goal is to adapt urban spaces to climate change and achieve greater biodiversity in the cityscape.
