Radical innovation - by entrepreneurial researchers and researching entrepreneurs
2020-12-10 | Germany, Berlin
Volucap presents at the radical innovation workshop of DIHK

The German economy maintains its position in global competition through “German engineering” as well as its distinct ability to innovate step by step. However, there is a backlog in the production and dissemination of disruptive innovations. As a rule, it is not possible to know in advance which innovations will have disruptive qualities. But if you don’t take the plunge, you can’t end up right at the top. And this is where the Agency for Jump Innovations (SprinD) comes in.
The DIHK (German Chamber of Industry and Commerce) has examined the companies’ views on the subject of radical disruptive innovation in more detail in a study and has held 70 discussions with highly innovative entrepreneurs for this purpose. The good news is that there is a highly innovative section of the SME sector that has already “jumped” several times without bringing this to the attention of the general public, while their global customers are well aware of it.
On December 10, 2020, from 15:00 – 17:00, we will not only present the results of the DIGITAL study, but also open a virtual stage to radically innovative “novelties” such as Nobel Prize winner Prof. Stefan Hell. We cordially invite you to attend! In-depth discussions are planned in two rounds of talks – among others with SprinD director Rafael Laguna de la Vera and Prof. Katharina Hölzle, member of the Expert Commission for Research and Innovation.

re:publica 2020
2020-05-06 08:00 - 2020-05-08 17:00 UTC | STATION Berlin, Luckenwalder Str. 4-6, Berlin, BERLIN, 10963, Germany
In 2019 Germany celebrated the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. But instead of a large community feeling, an increasing individualization of society can be observed. With the beginning of the “school* strikes for climate” in August 2018 though, the base of a collective sense of togetherness can be sensed again in the country. A movement that has found followers and support worldwide across the bounds of nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion, and age. The global school strike, initiated by one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl from Stockholm, is currently rocking world politics and thus acting as a catalyst for a long overdue debate on global climate policy. It brings up a painful subject and it’s about defining goals, making decisions, and radically changing course. The clock is ticking. Time is against us. Planet Earth and its inhabitants are about to eradicate themselves.
The motto of the 14th re:publica Berlin 2020 is: ASAP (as soon as possible).
On three days in May 2020 we will address the real and felt urgency of our current global and digital society.

ASAP means: not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a year, but NOW – and as quickly as possible!
ASAP symbolizes: a spirit of optimism, action and movement
ASAP must: exert pressure, generate stress, be uncomfortable
ASAP stands for: urgency, impatience, and power
ASAP promotes: imprecision, addiction, and social acceleration
ASAP means: immediacy, satisfaction, and convenience
ASAP should: engage, mobilize, and shake up
ASAP is: as soon as possible!

Volucap was already part of the first Infinity Film Festival.
Originally launched as the “Infinity Film Festival” in order to put the focus squarely on the storytelling aspect of all of this content, Beverly Hills served as the beautiful home to this multi-day launch, which resulted in 6 venues and more than 100 screenings, 200 speakers, 30 technology exhibitions, 120MM+ in media reach for its sponsors and festival participants and much more. United Talent Agency hosted the opening night VIP kick-off reception, in partnership with CTA, producers of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Due to the successful brand launch, festival Advisors determined that “Film” was no longer needed in the name of the festival to support the focus on storytelling. In year two, the name has returned to its original moniker, Infinity Festival, to properly welcome in all formats of content, whether Film, TV, Streaming, Immersive, computer-driven AI, Gaming and more.
Go to FESTIVAL 2019
