LPRINT took part in Bits & Pretzels 2025 in Munich as part of a Franco-German Learning Expedition dedicated to innovation, industrial technologies, and cross-border collaboration. The visit followed our joint participation at VivaTech in Paris and marked an important step in strengthening exchanges between the French and German startup ecosystems.
Bits & Pretzels is one of Europe’s leading startup and innovation events, bringing together founders, investors, and industrial leaders to discuss technology adoption, scale-up challenges, and future industrial trends. Participation provided LPRINT with direct exposure to the German industrial and manufacturing ecosystem.
As part of the WE.GO.FURTHER Learning Expedition 2025, LPRINT joined a delegation of selected deeptech startups for a series of meetings and exchanges focused on Industry of the Future topics.
Following a full day at Bits & Pretzels, the delegation was welcomed at the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab of Dassault Systèmes in Munich for an evening session dedicated to innovation transfer, prototyping, and industrial collaboration. The visit provided insight into how advanced digital tools, simulation, and fabrication environments are used to move from concepts to functional prototypes within an industrial context.
The Learning Expedition was organized within a broader Franco-German initiative led by Institut Mines-Télécom, Technical University of Munich, and Inria Startup Studio, with the objective of supporting startups as they expand across European industrial markets.
