Berlin, Germany, 03. Juni 2025 – Hosted by the Falling Walls Foundation, this year's Gipfel für Forschung und Innovation (Summit for Research and Innovation) will take place as part of the Falling Walls Science Summit 2025 to connect national and international perspectives. Organized by four of Germany’s most influential science and innovation institutions, this high-ranking event will bring together leaders from research, politics, industry and society for an essential dialogue on the future of science and innovation.
The Gipfel für Forschung und Innovation (Summit for Research and Innovation) fits perfectly with Falling Walls' rich programme, with high-intensity pitch presentations on 6 November, expert talks and roundtables session from 7-9 November, and the presentation of the Science Breakthroughs of the Year on 9 November. The Gipfel für Forschung und Innovation (Summit for Research and Innovation) is an ideal addition to the program and addresses pressing questions about how Germany and Europe can enhance their research and innovation ecosystems amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics and growing international competition.
By conducting this year's Gipfel für Forschung und Innovation (Summit for Research and Innovation) in the context of the Falling Walls Science Summit, we aim to share insights most broadly, and to deepen the connection between scientific breakthroughs, innovation policy and societal transformation on a national, European and global scale.
