Falling Walls Science Summit 2026

The Falling Walls Science Summit is one of Europe’s leading international conferences on science and innovation. It commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall by asking a central question: “Which are the next walls to fall in science and society?”

This year’s 18th Falling Walls Science Summit will take place from November 6-9 in Berlin, Germany, and will feature over 80 events including an international pitch competition by the winners of Falling Walls Labs across the world. The winner of Falling Wall Lab San Francisco Bay Area 2026, MinJae Kim, will present his idea on display efficiency before a global audience of innovators and policymakers. Falling Walls Lab San Francisco Bay Area 2026 was hosted by DWIH San Francisco on April 29, 2026.
