This Max Planck start-up project is tackling a very human challenge: helping vocal musicians and DJs connect better with their audiences.

Discover what research-based topics are driven by our Max Planck start-ups in Batch #5. From deep tech to human sciences, each team is working on innovations that have the potential to shape our future.

Insights into the three-day Bootcamp from the perspective of the start-up SimBricks and how they develop their future science-based company.

Basic research at the highest level and its transfer into practical applications are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, scientific excellence and commercial success often go hand in hand, as many Nobel Prize winners from Max Planck Institutes who are involved in business start-ups or innovations have shown. This is precisely where we want to pick up and use MAX!mize to encourage and enable researchers at the Max Planck Institutes to successfully transfer their scientifi

In 2025, two new batches will start. Batch #5 has already kicked-off. A total of 10 teams were able to convince the Bootcamp jury and are now in Phase 1. If you are also thinking about applying for our start-up incubator with your research-based start-up idea, you are welcome to do so from 17th of March until 7th of July, where the application window for Batch #6 opens. We collected three top things for aspiring future Max Planck founders to do right now. Rights: Kimberly Kob
