Startup City Hamburg – where innovation meets business
Hamburg has always been a place for people who dare to try new things—long before the word startup became a buzzword. Many inventions we take for granted today originated right here: from chip cards and water wings to adhesive tape, band‑aids, baby pacifiers, sparklers, and even dynamite.
That spirit of invention still defines the city. It makes Hamburg a powerful hub for innovative entrepreneurship and a place where ideas can quickly turn into reality. A tightly connected ecosystem of research institutions, businesses, and creative minds helps founders push their projects forward and gain visibility in Hamburg’s thriving startup scene.

Sustainable experience
We do not see sustainability as a trend or something that is “in” at the moment. Sustainability is a process for us and our city. It is a path that we have chosen and that we pursue stringently. Many of our service providers see it the same way.
Hamburg offers you ideal sustainable solutions for your event. You will also find equally exciting solutions in the tourism sector. Hamburg Tourismus GmbH has drawn up a wonderful guideline for this, which makes it possible to experience Hamburg sustainably in the private sector as well – from fair shopping and sustainable accommodation to time out in the countryside.
