Where Science Meets Business

Falling Walls Venture is a global platform to showcase the entrepreneurial potential in science. Watch pioneering founders who have successfully turned science into business demonstrate how entrepreneurial solutions can help solve today’s most pressing challenges.

Throughout the year, universities and institutions from around the world are invited to nominate the most innovative science start-up for the competition. The most promising young companies, carefully selected by our Advisory Board, are invited to pitch on the Falling Walls Venture stage in Berlin on 6 November.
