Three German startups make the case that the country can still compete at the cutting edge of technology. In Metzingen, David Reger and his team at NEURA Robotics build humanoid robots designed to work alongside people in homes, caregiving, and hazardous jobs, not replace them. In Aachen, brothers Sebastian and Daniel Schall run Black Semiconductor out of a purpose-built production facility, developing chips that combine electrical and optical data transmission for faster, more energy-efficient computing aimed at AI and autonomous driving. Twins Sara and Max Marquart of Planet A Foods take a different angle on innovation, producing ChoViva, a chocolate alternative meant to ease pressure on climate-vulnerable cocoa and coffee crops. The film moves between labs, factory floors, and interviews with the founders, letting each team explain their technology and ambitions in their own words. Together the three stories form a snapshot of Germany's startup scene betting on robotics, semiconductors, and food science to stay relevant in global markets increasingly shaped by automation and climate pressure.
