WERK1 is the place where enabler programs find the perfect environment to connect with Munich’s startup ecosystem. Nowhere else in Germany you’ll find such a high concentration of founders, programs, investors, and partners – and that density is its strength. The close proximity creates synergies that go far beyond chance encounters: mentors become hands-on sparring partners, programs complement each other, and startups benefit from direct access to capital and know-how. This doesn’t just spark innovation, it measurably accelerates it.
