The Max Planck Society established one of the first technology transfer institutions in Germany; formerly named Garching Instrumente, this company is now known as Max Planck Innovation GmbH. Over the last 50 years, the company has supervised more than 4,500 inventions and concluded 2,500 license agreements. Almost 80 percent of the roughly 160 spin-offs supervised by Max Planck Innovation are still in business today; seven of them have even made it to the stock exchange.
The corporate technology groups Bosch and Amazon are also investing heavily in this

All living beings live in symbiosis with an abundance of micro-organisms – the microbiome – that settle on and in their tissues. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön and the University of Kiel have compared the microbiome compositions of different animal species with model calculations. They discovered that the microbiomes of some species are largely composed in a way that can be expected without selection pressure. The species in many microbiomes are therefore mainly randomly distributed. In contrast, some bacteria appear more frequently than predicted by random models; these presumably have key functions for the survival of the organism.
