An invitation-only gathering for the people shaping the future of Central and Eastern Europe’s innovation ecosystem, the CEE Stammtisch brings together a curated group of founders, investors, innovation agencies, ecosystem builders, policymakers, and public sector leaders during Oktoberfest in Munich. Hosted by The Recursive and Bits & Pretzels, and inspired by the German tradition of the Stammtisch - a regulars’ table where ideas are exchanged, relationships are built, and communities grow - the gathering creates space for meaningful conversations that rarely happen during packed conference agendas. With no formal agenda, keynote speeches, or fundraising pitches, participants come together around one table to exchange ideas, deepen partnerships, spark new collaborations, and collectively shape the next chapter of the CEE innovation ecosystem. Expect thoughtful discussions, new connections, exceptional company, Bavarian beer, and local food, all in the spirit of one of Germany’s most enduring traditions.
