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

Anjana Pisharody Unni and Somasundar Arumugam, the founders of SuziTrap, are taking on a tiny but destructive enemy: the spotted wing drosophila.

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
