Founder Talks Podcast Spotlights Kaepsele Innovation Festival and WOW Museums
The July edition of the German “Founder Talks” podcast examines startup innovation through two main features. It includes an interview with Vanessa Kammermann about the WOW Museums project, a pair of interactive experience centres that blend optical illusion, edutainment and perspective‑shifts and operate in Zurich and Munich.
The podcast also reports on the Kaepsele Innovation Festival held on 16 July 2026 in the SICK‑Arena in Freiburg. The event gathered startups, SMEs, researchers, investors and other ecosystem actors for talks, master‑classes, pitches and demonstrations on artificial intelligence, new technologies and digital transformation. Additional commentary comes from Ulrich Schwellinger and the ARC62 team, highlighting the importance of networking, visibility and collaboration for emerging companies.
Overall, the coverage underscores how German‑based founders view ideas, courage and incremental growth as central to bringing innovations to market.
