Falling Walls Venture

Falling Walls Venture is a global platform and international pitch competition for science-based start-ups, organized by the Falling Walls Foundation in Berlin. Launched in 2013, the program identifies and showcases pioneering companies that have successfully translated breakthrough scientific research into innovative business models across disciplines such as biotechnology, healthcare, and materials science. Each year, selected finalists pitch their solutions to a distinguished jury and a global network of investors and industry leaders during the Falling Walls Science Summit. The platform is supported by major partners including Boehringer Ingelheim and SCHOTT, and it aims to bridge the gap between academic research and entrepreneurial success.
