Die Zukunft der Innovation beginnt nicht morgen – sie forscht schon heute. 💡🔬

Wir sind davon überzeugt: Wer junge Köpfe fördert, investiert in die Zukunft. Deshalb ist die Förderung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in den Bereichen Forschung und Entwicklung für ZEISS ein fester Bestandteil.

Ob Mikroskopie, Programmieren, Elektronik oder Künstliche Intelligenz – die Energie und der Entdeckergeist beim Landeswettbewerb , der gestern in Oberkochen stattfand, waren deutlich spürbar. Rund 120 MINT-Talente verwandelten unsere Räumlichkeiten in Labore voller Ideen. Ihre Projekte zeigten eindrucksvoll, welches Potenzial in der nächsten Generation steckt und wie wichtig es ist, dieses gezielt zu fördern.

It’s question time! We put Michèle Finck in the hot seat. She is the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Professor for Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen and Co-Director of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law.

Her answer really surprised us. 😲

Viele Teilchen und Strukturen bleiben dem bloßen Auge verborgen. Doch was wäre, wenn wir genau sie sichtbar machen könnten? 🔬 💫

Seit über 400 Jahren ermöglicht uns die Mikroskopie, die Welt mit anderen Augen zu sehen. Mikroskopische Details können auf riesige Planetariumskuppeln projiziert und Zellstrukturen als beeindruckende 360°-Bilder erlebbar werden.

Bei den Thementagen „Unsichtbare Welten: Vom Mikrokosmos zum Universum" vom 16.–18. April im Zeiss-Großplanetarium in erlebst Du genau das. In Workshops kannst Du selbst mit ZEISS Mikroskopen mikroskopieren und experimentieren – begleitet von Expertinnen und Experten, die spannende Einblicke geben.

Combining the restoration of aquatic habitats with STEM education for children. 🔬

Under special permission, ZEISS volunteers from the “A Heart for Science” initiative entered the Imperial Palace Outer Garden Moat in Tokyo to collect benthos and aquatic organisms. Together with children, they conducted hands-on sampling and microscopic observation in a biotope, deepening their understanding of urban nature. The project was run in close cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and the Nature Conservation Society of Japan.

*Please note that the entry into the moat requires special permission from the Ministry of the Environment.

Even the tiniest organisms in lakes are important to our ecosystem. 🌊

Our ZEISS team in Tokyo collaborated with the Ministry of the Environment, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and the Nature Conservation Society of Japan to investigate this vital connection. They helped to restore the aquatic environment of the Imperial Palace Outer Garden Moat and to rebuild a biodiversity network. 🧪

During a workshop with children, collected water samples were then examined under ZEISS microscopes to showcase why small organisms matter for an intact ecosystem. For this project and their commitment, the volunteers were honored with one of this year's A Heart for Science awards.

On today's , we want to highlight the importance of clean water and raise awareness about water quality. Because water is one of the most essential resources for all life.

Debunking common Al myths. While (Al) is transforming industries, several myths about it still linger.

At ZEISS, we use Al to enhance human expertise, not to replace it. From medicine and production to science, Al brings measurable value - and ensures humans remain in control. Making better decisions based on Al insights.

But what makes ZEISS really unique? We don't just use Al! Our technology from ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) enables semiconductor manufacturers worldwide to produce even smaller microchips that power modern Al.

Which Al myths have you encountered?

Before technology can change lives, it needs something crucial: trust. And that doesn't happen by chance.

At ZEISS, we know that deploying innovations responsibly is vital so that people put their trust in life-changing technologies. But how do you build up this confidence?

We sat down with legal scholar Michèle Finck. She is the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Professor for Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen and Co-Director of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law. Prof. Finck shared her take on how strong legal guardrails help ensure the responsible use and acceptance of new technologies.

What do you ? 💙

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, we asked our colleagues worldwide this question.
This year’s theme, “Give To Gain” reminds us that progress doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when people step forward to support one another. By giving time, ideas, or trust, we create opportunities that multiply, not subtract.

In the video, colleagues share how they support others to grow and what they gain in return. They show how reciprocity, diversity, and collective action strengthen our workplace and contribute to a more inclusive environment for everyone.
Let’s keep listening, supporting, and learning from each other.

➡️ What do you give to gain?
