DePIN, Pitch & Popcorn

​How to turn Germany’s DePIN projects into a coherent mesh to support innovative industry collaboration

Check out the CIC cinema location of several infamous Blockchain meetup and the Blockchain Brunches.
Kick back and get into DePin while sipping a drink and enjoying popcorn. 

We have brief intros of the organizers and their take on DePIN and innovations overall.

Note: As it is hard to plan any event during the BBW - we go with a first come, first serve approach.
