Munich's regional startup award, running since 1997 and handed out live at WERK1: five pre-selected startups pitch the audience for the "Publikumspreis", and an expert jury picks the "Rising Star" of an established Munich company. Not big in headcount, but the local VC, corporate-innovation and press scene actually shows up, and the five finalists are already filtered by the Sparkasse's startup programme. A fast way to see which five Munich teams the local ecosystem is betting on this year.
