Experience a fresh approach to pitching visionary product ideas – enjoy a series of entertaining and compact SLAMs presented by the founders of ‘our’ start-ups:
mymuesli (Max Wittrock)
566 billion muesli variations
An organic muesli mix that meets the highest quality standards: People’s tastes vary, we’re told – and this is exactly the highly personalised concept that’s promoted front and centre on the ‘muesli tubes’ from the leading muesli makers who are now a household name. In ‘To Go’ stores dotted all over Germany, individualised muesli mixes are sold alongside porridge, tea from Tea Tree and Nilk.
A playful way to perfection
SensuSport combines scientific research findings with the latest electronic and electromechanical process technology. The Golf Shutter Glasses immensely improves your control over the perfect drive by simply masking out potential visual distractions. This young start-up offers innovation for competitive sports and helps ambitious players on their way to perfection.
FreshDetect (Oliver Dietrich)
Germ alert!
Rotten meat scandals are rarely out of the headlines. Not least because meat inspections are either quick and subjective or precise but very time-consuming. But the new hand-held freshdetect BFD-100 measures the bioburden and temperature of pork and minced meat in a matter of seconds, while also offering lab-quality precision. Ensuring that dodgy meat ends up in the bin and not in shoppers’ baskets.

Based in Pullach (near Munich), FreshDetect GmbH develops and markets innovative instruments and solutions for performing rapid and regular quality control inspections in the food industry. Staff at FreshDetect GmbH team are experts in the field of microbiology and spectrometry systems, and can draw on long experience in food technology and the handling and processing of microbiological data.

With a constant focus on continuous improvement, technical know-how and commercial sense are used to implement customer requirements quickly and flexibly.
VoltStorage (Jakob Bitner)
Free your energy
What if privately generated solar energy could be used even when the sun’s isn’t shining – to gain more independence from the energy market? That’s the idea behind Munich start-up VoltStorage, which has developed the safest, most ecological and most profitable solar power storage for home owners, which is soon to be launched on the market.
From basement tinkerers to entrepreneurs
After Michael Peither had put together an initial mini-prototype of a battery in his parents’ basement, he joined forces with Jakob Bitner and Felix Kiefl in 2015 to identify a possible commercial application. Today, the start-up employs a team of 15 people working towards the vision of developing a profitable solar power storage solution based on the safest and most ecological storage technology.
Agrilution (Maximilian Lössl)
plantCube: your intelligent indoor garden
agrilution’s plantCube is a plug ‘n’ grow greenhouse that comes complete with the seed mats you need to grow herbs, salads and microgreens. Within the plantCube, optimal irrigation, temperature and lighting give the final produce its incomparable taste. An app connected to the plantCube shows how your various greens are growing and, most important of all, when you can harvest what, as easy as 1-2-3 – no green fingers needed!
Planting made simple
Salad greens and herbs, garden-fresh – but literally without the spadework or any of the many adverse effects from bad weather or pest infestations. The intelligent control system ensures plants in the plantCube are perfectly provided for at all times and can be checked at any time with the app. A herb garden right where it is most needed: in your kitchen.
