🥨 Bits & Pretzels 2025, what a ride !   Just back from an energizing few days in #Munich at #BitsAndPretzels, where founders, investors, and innovators from across Europe (and beyond) came together to connect, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of what’s next in tech and venture 🥨   ✨ We had countless meaningful conversations, gained fresh perspectives, and came back with exciting leads on startups aligned with Bouygues Construction’s strategic priorities. ✨ A big thank you to The Bau Ventures, Realyze Ventures, and TUM Venture Labs for hosting the Urban Aperitivo, a standout side event uniting startups, VCs, and corporates shaping the future of the built environment.   This edition was a strong reminder of why we do what we do: to back bold founders solving real-world problems. #BitsAndPretzels #Startups #VentureCapital #BuiltEnvironment #ConTech #Innovation
