Why Bits & Pretzels is worth visiting

Bits & Pretzels is an exclusive, invitation-only three-day festival connecting 5,000 visionary founders, investors, startup supporters, and influential decision-makers within the startup ecosystem.

The origins of its name trace back to its humble beginnings in 2014 when Bits & Pretzels started as a small founders’ breakfast with just 80 participants. Presently, this annual extravaganza draws thousands of founders, industry-leading corporations, and captivating speakers who share a common belief in the power of entrepreneurship to foster positive transformations in Germany and across Europe and the global stage.

At Bits & Pretzels, founders of national and international companies tell their success stories and give tips. Over the first two days of the conference, attendees are treated to a diverse lineup of keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, masterclasses, and a startup competition hosted within the Munich International Congress Center.

The festival’s third day is all about networking. All participants come together at the Oktoberfest. Following the table captain principle, the young founders and investors network over beer and chicken in the packed Oktoberfest tent.

With speakers like Michelle Obama and a vibrant networking festival against the backdrop of Oktoberfest, it’s an exclusive event not to be missed.
