THE HAMBURG INNOVATION PARKS HOTSPOTS FOR INDUSTRY, SCIENCE AND START-UPS 1 INNOVATION BEGINS WITH IDEAS. YOUR IDEAS! But ideas need space to develop and grow. You’ll find such space in our city, Hamburg. A city where people’s sights have always been set on the horizon and beyond but at the same time a city where clear words and solid relationships make for essential grounding – so that ideas can become reality. We don’t issue building permits for castles in the air. To make our visions reality we rather rely on careful planning coupled with comprehensive advisory services and support. And the results speak for themselves. If this is what you’re looking for, Hamburg is exactly the right place for you.
