Explore the research-based innovations our Batch #6 Max Planck start-ups are pursuing. Each team is pushing ideas forward that could help define the future.

Ecodylic Science is building a software ecosystem that makes complex behavioral data analysis accessible, scalable, and scientifically powerful.

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

This team is a prime example of how a simple research solution can ignite a powerful business idea with real-world impact.

This start-up journey shows that you don't necessarily need a perfect idea or a business plan to start a company - curiosity, courage and the willingness to break new ground are much more important.

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.

The Max Planck start-up project ClearCut Biolabs, participating in the start-up incubation program MAX!mize, develops easy-to-use tools for advanced gene editing.

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

The world of start-ups is diverse. And so are our participants in the MAX!mize incubation program. There is a wide variety of concepts, plans and goals. Different personalities, opportunities and challenges. No two entrepreneurial paths are the same. But they all have the same goal: To work on their foundation with passion and commitment. And it is precisely this goal that Partha Ghosh, Valentina Rodriguez Pasmino and Kamil Adamczewski have now achieved. We would like to cong

Two members of the start-up team FlyVoTech, Guy Reeves and Dušica Briševac. Yellow post-it notes labeled with thick black felt-tip pen writings glide across the table. The words "Drosophila," "contract company," and "drug discovery" catch the eye. Dušica Briševac is organizing notes into different piles labeled "essential," "nice to have," and "negative." The 35-year-old postdoc at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, is currently faced with the task of prioritizin

The start-up project QuantiLight of Max Planck Institute for Medical Research is developing home blood tests. To pave the way for a potential spin-off, the two "founders-to-be" Estelle Bonedeau and Corentin Gondrand, have been participating in the MAX!mize start-up incubation program since 2022. Blood tests play an essential role for many people. One example is chronic diseases that require daily medication. Here, regular examinations of the medication level are necessary. So

The start-up team sci-an is working on a unified scientific ecosystem. Their goal is to modernize scientific communication and networking by making it more inclusive, efficient, and sustainable. The key to this is the combination of virtual conferencing, hybrid discussion, and a peer-based content review system within the same online platform. The four scientists Jacob, Oliver, Siddhant and Tobias were among the first participants in Batch #1 of the MAX!mize incubation progra
