Bits & Pretzels will once again bring the European start-up and innovation scene together in Munich from September 29 to October 1, 2025. Under the motto “Kickstart Europe”, the festival sends a clear signal for entrepreneurial cooperation and economic confidence in Europe.
We cordially invite you to join us, accreditations are now possible under this link.
The three founders Andreas Bruckschlögl, Bernd Storm van’s Gravesande and Felix Haas will be happy to answer questions or conduct interviews digitally in advance or in person on site. Possible points of contact would be:
- Start-up policy: Necessary government measures, corporations as innovation partners, upcoming trends
- Europe’s investment problem – lack of IPO culture, hesitant funds, dangerous dependence on the USA
- Lessons learned from over ten years of Bits & Pretzels and insights into the strategic realignment
Once again this year, over 7,500 participants, including 2,500 investors and numerous prominent speakers, are expected to attend. You can view the current program here.
