What is Tech Impact
Festival all about?

The RWTH Tech Impact Festival brings together researchers, entrepreneurs and corporate innovators to drive progress and shape the technologies of tomorrow.

Over two days, the festival highlights key developments in AI, quantum computing, sustainable energy, biotechnology, and future mobility. At its core: bridging the gap between research and real-world application.

 

This is more than just another conference. It’s a space for open exchange, practical insights, and new partnerships. It is where science meets industry and ideas become action.With a mix of keynote talks, deep-dive workshops, and interactive networking formats, the festival fosters dialogue across disciplines and sectors. It unites RWTH’s innovation ecosystem under one roof and creates a platform for meaningful encounters and visible momentum.

 

Whether you're a CEO seeking strategic insight, a researcher ready to scale your impact, or a startup looking to connect with global partners — this is your opportunity to explore the latest tech trends and co-create what’s next.

​
