Our 2025 Experience
Where the Future of VC Takes Shape. A full day of investor-only insights & networking
in a rapidly evolving
industry.

Knowledge for corporate decision-makers from leading corporations. It is a closed circle where C-Level Executives share strategies on “AI in Action”.
Bits & Pretzels becomes more international than ever before. And so does the Startup Pitch, which we held since the very first edition. A new European level.

All those improvements are connected by this year's theme. Let’s harness Europe's immense potential by connecting all entrepreneurial stakeholders.
