About

Johann Bauerfeind

DegreeJohann Bauerfeind,
M.Sc. Life Science Engineering · Ingenieur

I help founding teams in biotech and the bioeconomy turn research into marketable products.

I have been building companies of my own since 2015. So I get hands-on and work alongside teams at first customer meetings, at trade fairs and with pilot partners.

I studied Life Science Engineering at HTW Berlin. Today I work in Leipzig, where my own lab for prototypes and material tests is based.
