Our Story

The Journey of InPlanet: How It All Started

The story of InPlanet is one of passion and innovation. A journey of two friends driven by a desire to fight the climate crisis, with a commitment to sustainable agriculture.

When Felix Harteneck and Niklas Kluger met at a college party in Munich, an instant connection sparked. Two freshmen, Felix with a focus on Management and Technology, and Niklas in Environmental Engineering and Resource Management, they uncovered a shared entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit; something that would drive the creation of an industry leader, and a deep desire to make history.

In two short years, InPlanet has grown from a start-up based in Munich and Brazil to a multinational industry leader with success driven by people from all over the world. A testament to the shared vision and determination of Felix and Niklas. And while every day presents something new to be learned, they always drive the team forward and seek to inspire with a future-positive mindset, enabling things they never thought possible. Always focused on making a real impact and bringing a tangible difference to the world.
