How can innovation become a true driver of the future in Germany? And what role does international collaboration play in this? A special episode of the t3n podcast – recorded live at the German Innovation Awards 2025 – brings fresh perspectives to the table.

What It Takes to Drive Innovation – And How We Can Achieve It Together

Leading minds from research, business and design explore what really matters now – in two themed discussion panels: What opportunities does Germany offer as a hub for innovation? And how can meaningful cross-border collaboration be strengthened?

t3n interview host Stella-Sophie Wojtczak leads the discussions – she also served on this year’s German Innovation Awards jury.

Part 1: German Innovation – What Opportunities Do We Have in Germany?

With:
• Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sven Schimpf, Director, Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research
• Frank Bösenberg, Managing Director, Silicon Saxony

Part 2: Global Innovation – How Can We Foster Meaningful Collaboration?

With:
• Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès von Hattburg, President, Club of Budapest Germany
• Michael Kruza, Chapter Lead Design / UX, Deutsche Telekom AG

Together, the speakers shed light on how innovation processes can be approached more systemically, how to better harness regional strengths, and how to establish new forms of cooperation. It’s about mindset, implementation – and one key question: What does it take for innovation to truly make an impact?
