We are happy to share that our partner, Tobias Erb, was one of the Max-Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology researchers awarded the most important German research prize! 🇩🇪 🏆 Tobias researches metabolic pathways of microorganisms, specifically those extracting carbon dioxide from the air more efficiently than nature, to integrate it into material cycles. ☁ 🔄 In our #H2020 project, together with Lennart Schada von Borzyskowski, Jan Zarzycki, Arren Bar-Even, Daniel Marchal, Steffen Lindner, Ari Satanowski, and Helena Schulz-Mirbach, Tobias is discovering, designing, and studying novel enzymes and pathways that capture and convert one-carbon compounds. #CarbonFixation #Microbiology https://lnkd.in/dscv-Mdq

🚀 Confidence. Courage. Curiosity. Creativity. Commitment. In the spirit of these start-up virtues we reflect on last week's Bootcamp of Batch#3. Bram Wijlands, Managing Director of Max-Planck-Innovation and Kathrin Schelbaum, Head of MAX!mize, warmly welcomed the start-up teams, marking the commencement of their entrepreneurial journey. Take a glimpse into these photos featuring some of our extraordinary Batch#3 teams: 🤖 MachOptima 🔍: Emerging from Institute Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme (a.o.) the team around Sinan, Saadet, Mehmet and Isabella is transforming manufacturing processes with their AI-based service. 🌐 SFT - Scientific Filtration Technologies 🔬: Anneke and Greta from Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology. Their project aims to simplify and standardize membrane filtration. 🧬 DynaPore 👃: Scott, Liza, Markus and Owen, representing Max-Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology. They are pioneering bioelectronic nose technology. #maximizeincubator is powered by Max-Planck-Innovation GmbH and Max Planck Society. Photos: Bert Willer
