This year, the Munich Bits & Pretzels was even louder, brighter, more inspiring and more influential. TechUkraine, together with European Association for Software Engineering EASE and Kyiv IT Cluster, gathered the first Ukrainian delegation at B&P 2023. The choice fell on young and strong tech players who represented with dignity the Ukrainian tech ecosystem at this international event.
Bits & Pretzels is a large tech event that brings together the brightest minds, innovators, and disruptors from around the world. The festival brings together 5000 participants, including founders, investors and other key figures in the startup world. This year, the event took place at the ICM Internationales Congress Center, München.
The conference organizers offered us great conditions for the Ukrainian pavilion, and we are proud to bring the first Ukrainian delegation to this bright and remarkable conference. EASE did a great part of the job, taking care of all financial and organizational issues on the spot. Thanks, colleagues, for your speed and great organization!
The festival featured a Ukrainian stand, measuring 2×4 meters, which was hosted by 4 selected Ukrainian startups. The main goal of the stand was to demonstrate the potential of the Ukrainian technology sector and generate leads.
