Digital Technologies Days 2026

The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space brings research, industry and policy together for two days on one question: how do digital technologies get out of the pilot stage and into commercial value creation in Germany? Federal Minister Dorothee Bär opens at 14:00 and then sits on the panel on high tech "Made in Germany" alongside Malte Kosub of Berlin's Parloa, Dr. Michael Förtsch of Q.ANT, Dr. Iris Schwenk of HQS Quantum Simulations and Sebastian Klaus of ATMOS Space Cargo. Parallel expert forums run on commercialising generative AI, scaling humanoid robotics, the first real quantum-computing use case, and digital battery-cell manufacturing. The day closes with the QC Next competition awards, an exhibition and dinner. Doors 12:30 at the WECC. Why go: the rare room where a sitting minister, deep-tech founders and the funding side argue about commercialisation in public. Best for deep-tech founders, investors and anyone tracking German technology policy.
