SPRIND at MACHN25! The festival for tech, business and art stands for Central German innovation, creativity and maker spirit - and offers founders, start-ups, companies and creatives a platform for supra-regional networking, knowledge transfer and inspiring exchange in the historic location of Leipzig's Baumwollspinnerei.

He will also talk to Markus Zweckstetter, research group leader, professor at the University of Göttingen and group leader at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, about his promising Alzheimer's research.
