CTO Circle

The circle of research division heads and board members of research-intensive companies as well as representatives of universities and non-university research institutions serves to discuss current challenges in the field of research and development at the highest level. There is an exchange on pressing issues; from specific research topics and current industry trends to general topics such as talent management, internationalization or framework conditions for innovation in Germany. The CTO Circle was established in 2012 by the President of the Helmholtz Association and has since been continued as part of the "Falling Walls" event.
