On June 22, the finals of the Startup-Champs Germany competition will take place in Munich, where young companies from the field of "Digital Health" will compete. The Hamburg participants are dpv-analytics, myndpaar and doctorderma. In this article, you can learn more about these startups and what awaits them in Munich.

In the Startup Champs, the cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne will each send three candidates into the race. One winning team per city and one overall winner will then be determined. The decision will be made by a jury of experts, in which Hamburg is represented by investor Alexander Winterling. Prizes include regional membership of HIP Hamburg, participation in Slush in Helsinki and workshops by PwC and Taylor Wessing. The Munich trip, organized by the Startup Unit of Hamburg Invest, begins with an appearance by the three Hamburg finalists at Bits & Pretzels HealthTech on June 20 and 21. And these are the three startups you can meet there:
