The award was presented by Clemens Baumg\u00e4rtner, the head of labor and economics, during the Bits & Pretzels networking day in the Schottenhamel tent at the Oktoberfest. Arno Eggers<\/strong>, Head of Munich Startup, congratulated and said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"Bits & Pretzels is one of the most important startup events for Munich and all of Germany. Startups from over thirty European countries participate in the pitch contest. The fact that a Munich startup won this contest shows that Munich is a place where innovations can emerge and startups can be successful."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Eggers added: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"As a partner, we are delighted to once again honor the best Munich startup at Bits & Pretzels this year. Ecoplanet represents the innovative power of Munich."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As a deeply rooted Munich-based company, the winning team from Ecoplanet is proud of the award. Maximilian Dekorsy<\/strong>, Co-Founder and CEO, said at the award ceremony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

"It was important to us to raise awareness about the energy transition. We achieved that by winning the pitch contest at Bits & Pretzels. And now, thanks to the Munich Startup Special Prize, here at Oktoberfest! We are also very pleased about the recognition we receive as a Munich startup through this special award."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
