Summary
Operating under the motto “Connecting Science and Business”, the MPG subsidiary acts as a partner to scientists and business alike. Our interdisciplinary team provides consulting and support for scientists in evaluating inventions, applying for patents, and founding companies. We offer industry a central point of access to the innovations of the Max Planck Institutes. We thus provide the important function of transferring the results of basic research into economically and socially useful products and services.
