Business Strategy & Innovation (BSI) Meetup — Munich
Buying committees, engineer-led products, and deals that take three quarters. This is the room for people selling something that takes explaining.
Scale-ups, Mittelstand & Deep Tech · Munich, Bavaria
[01]What It Is
Where Munich Talks About the Long Sale.
For teams whose deals are decided by a committee rather than a champion. One evening, three formats:
Lively discussions that pressure-test real strategiesWorkshops on strategy development, innovation, and industry trendsNetworking with Munich’s Mittelstand owners, scale-up teams and technical founders
Seasoned executive or first-time founder — this is your room, hosted by
.
Munich rewards patience and punishes noise. Tactics that work in Berlin rarely survive first contact with a Bavarian procurement process.
[02]Who Should Come
Mittelstand Owners and MDs
Running businesses older than most of the room.
Deep Tech and Hardware Founders
Long development, longer sales.
Enterprise Sales Leads
Working committees rather than contacts.
Scale-up Executives
Past product-market fit, into process.
[03]Format & Cadence
How an Evening Runs
What does a typical evening look like?
- 18:30 — Doors & drinks: informal networking to arrive and settle in.
- Welcome: a short framing of the evening’s topic from the hosts.
- Keynote or practitioner panel: founders, practitioners, or domain experts on what actually worked — and what didn’t.
- Open discussion: moderated, candid — the room challenges and builds on the topic.
- Curated networking: structured introductions, so you leave with the two or three contacts that matter for you.
Plan for roughly three hours.
How often does it meet, and where?
The meetup meets regularly throughout the year. Central Munich. Editions move around the Maxvorstadt and Werksviertel side of the city, close to where the engineering and scale-up teams sit. Each edition is announced with date and venue on the platforms listed above.
What does it cost?
Attendance is free for participants — always. We keep it that way deliberately: the value of the room is the room. Registration in advance is required, as seats are limited and editions regularly fill up.
Can I speak, host, or partner?
Yes.
