Munich Haus

At Munich Haus @SXSW, we connect hubs and brew innovation

 - melting the start-up ecosystems of Munich and Austin into a big, cheerful crowd of founders, funders and ecosystem partners. Not only do we spark conversations on focus topics of both hubs like AI, security, dual use and deeptech - we also invite you to experience Bavarian culture with us. 

What we don’t do today (even though we are German hosts):

At 11:30 a.m., we start our main program @Munich Haus:

We introduce the Munich ecosystem and moderate conversations between ecosystem representatives including the Munich start-up delegation as well as Austin-based companies and organizations:

 IRL: Formats & Infrastructures that Strengthen Innovation Ecosystems 

 Munich 2030: The City’s Blueprint for Innovation, AI & Startups 

 German-Texan Heritage: The Role of Cultural Identity in Winning New Markets 

From Buzzword to Economic Advantage: What Local Ecosystems must do to Win with AI

 Superconnectors: Help a Startup with Your Network

During and after the program, we are celebrating Bavarian culture with an 

authentic Oktoberfest-style happy hour in the garden including beer & pretzels (on us!), bratwurst and a brass band
