“How to Give a Perfect Pitch”

Talented scientists and entrepreneurs will answer this question by presenting their cutting-edge idea and innovation in just three minutes. A distinguished jury selects a winner who will compete again in the finale in Berlin.

Falling Walls Labs take place globally throughout the year. The winner of each international Falling Walls Lab qualifies for the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin, which is held every year on November 8, a day before the anniversary of the fall of the Berling Wall. It is closely connected to the annual Falling Walls Conference on November 9, at which 20 world-class scientists from across the globe present their current breakthrough research in an effort to answer the question: “Which walls are the next to fall?”
