Bits & Pretzels 2025

Our first time at Bits & Pretzels was everything we hoped for — and then some.
Three days in Munich surrounded by founders, investors, and innovators shaping what’s next.

The energy was contagious: insightful talks, unexpected encounters, and the kind of hallway conversations that turn into collaborations.

Where Energy Meets Innovation ⚡

One of this year’s big themes was the energy transition — and for good reason. Europe is rethinking its industrial and energy models, and Germany is right at the center of that shift.

We met incredible people driving this change: from startups using AI to optimize energy systems to industrial innovators building the infrastructure for a more sustainable future.

But it wasn’t just about energy. Discussions around defense, deeptech, and industrial transformation reminded us how blurred — and exciting — the line between the physical and digital worlds has become.

Conversations That Matter

The real magic happened off stage — in cafés, at side events, and over shared pretzels.
That’s where the best ideas surface: how to scale without losing purpose, how to collaborate across sectors, how to build tech that actually solves problems.

(And yes, there were many pretzels. 🥨)

What We’re Taking Home

We left Munich feeling inspired — and convinced that European innovation is more alive than ever.
There’s real momentum here: talent, capital, and above all, a shared drive to build things that matter.

A huge thank-you to everyone who welcomed us with such energy and openness.
We’re excited to keep these conversations going, explore new collaborations, and definitely be back for Bits & Pretzels 2026. 🇩🇪
