MUC meets HEL: Connect & Win a Lederhosen
At Slush, Munich Haus brings founders, funders, and bold ideas together for an evening of curated networking and Oktoberfest-style entertainment in a Helsinki brewhouse.
Munich heart, Helsinki spirit, European ambition. Both cities share the ambition to turn bold ideas into global impact. From deep tech to AI, we're creating a brewing ground for collaboration and lasting connections across Europe and beyond. Startups from both cities will pitch what they're building and how you can help, while our original hosts make the right introductions and get the party going.
Our #1 Haus rule: Make a great connection before you "Fin(n)ish" your first beer. Every valuable connection brings you closer to winning those Lederhosen!
Born at SXSW 2026 in Austin, where 1,000+ people joined in one day, Munich Haus now comes to Helsinki, powered by Munich Startup and supported by WERK1.

The Munich Haus Manifesto
What we don’t do at Munich Haus:
even though we are German hosts
1. Promote German angst and complaints (remember: what you tolerate is what you promote)
2. Give lectures and focus on reasons why something won’t work
3. Talk about what others should do

3. Talk about what others should do
What we focus on instead:
1. What can we as participants do to actually move things forward
2. What connections can we initiate to kickstart change (our power is in the 2nd degree network)
3. Discussing with the goal of consensus, not wanting to be right
