In total:<\/em> Before Insempra, our founder, Jens Klein, was CEO of AMSilk, the world's first supplier of vegan silk polymers. From this experience, it became clear to him that if biotechnology is to make a real difference, it must be conceived and applied industrially. This is how the idea for Insempra was born in 2020 \u2013 with the vision of developing biotechnological solutions that are sustainable, scalable, and market-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em> What have been your biggest challenges so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munich Startup:<\/em> How have you experienced Munich as a startup location so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total:<\/em> Munich offers optimal conditions for biotech: strong scientific institutions, international talent, an ever-growing network, and good infrastructure. We are located at the IZB in Martinsried \u2013 a place where research, startups, and industry truly come together. The exchange there is incredibly valuable, and we greatly appreciate the proximity to institutions like the Max Planck Institute and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
