The nomination phase for the first edition of the 'Startup Guide Munich' is now open!
The Startup Guide is intended to be a "handbook for entrepreneurs" filled with inspiration, tips, founder know-how, and much more. As a kind of "travel guide" through the Munich startup scene, the handbook highlights which young companies, hubs, and hotspots in the local ecosystem should definitely be on your radar.
Startup Guide Munich as a travel guide through the Munich startup landscape
After all, so much is happening here that it's easy to lose track. And finally, in addition to a strong startup ecosystem, Munich offers a unique mix of established industrial companies, top universities, and an exciting financing network.
The Map and our Startup Stories are certainly the first port of call for seeing what's currently happening in Munich's startup scene. For fans of printed paper, the Startup Guide is a wonderful alternative.
“Revolutionary ideas become business reality”
Tina Höfinghoff of MUST – The Munich Summit also supports the Startup Guide Munich. Why? She wants to focus on Bavaria and Munich because:
“[….] Munich offers unparalleled match-making and networking events by bringing the best of the best together: the most renowned universities, top industry players, a great investor community and a vibrant tech startup scene.
In this spot, revolutionary ideas become business reality and extraordinary deals are made – in one of the world's most promising cities.”
What the initiator of Startup Guide says about Munich
And what does that look like Sissel Hansen, the initiator of the "Startup Guide" series, which now covers ten cities? She says:
"Munich is a city where great ideas have the potential of becoming really successful. Apart from having a lot of natural advantages the thriving startup scene of Munich is supported by many different players, including top universities and a rather big group of local venture capital players."
