This video features a recording of the Falling Walls Circle session “Deep Tech: Shaping the Future of SMEs” held during the Falling Walls Science Summit 2025 in Berlin.

Rapid advances in AI and key technologies risk widening the gap between tech leaders and the rest. This session explores how innovation can be made more inclusive—across sectors, company sizes and geographies—and what policies, partnerships and investments are needed to ensure that small and medium-sized companies in particular can access and benefit from deep-tech progress.

Speakers:

Hadas Erel, Head of the Social Robots Group, Reichman University

Dagmar Schuller, CEO, AudEERING

Helmut Schönenberger, CEO, UnternehmerTUM

Constantin Häfner, Executive Board Member, Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT

Gunther Wobser, CEO, LAUDA

Supported by the Technical University of Munich (TUM)
