New application process commences for Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg's latest funding round
In the heart of Germany, the vibrant city of Hamburg is expanding its offer for international scaleups, particularly in the fields of mobility, logistics, energy, and construction. The Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg, launched in 2022 by the Hamburg Authority for Economics and Innovation, is now inviting applications for its third round in 2024.
This initiative, designed for settlement-ready growth companies, offers tailored services to help international green tech scaleups establish their presence in the Hamburg economic area. More information about the Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg can be found on the landingpad.future.hamburg website.
Hamburg Invest, the central partner for economic development in the city, serves as a one-stop agency for settlements and investments. For technology and knowledge-based startups, including those in the Startup City Hamburg, Hamburg Invest offers a central point of contact. The Startup City Hamburg, a specific focus area within Hamburg Invest, caters to the unique needs of these startups.
To be eligible for the Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg, applicants must prove their business success in their home market, be in a strong growth phase, and demonstrate a clear intention to integrate into the local Hamburg ecosystem. The application deadline is set for March 31, 2024, with admission and onboarding scheduled to begin in May of 2024.
Hamburg's status as Germany's hub for mobility and logistics, the center of the North German hydrogen ecosystem, and home to Europe's largest inner-city development project, makes it uniquely suited to scale green technologies. This, combined with the record high in company investments in Hamburg, underscores the city's attractiveness for businesses.
Two Hamburg startup initiatives have recently received international awards, further highlighting the city's thriving startup scene. Hamburg Marketing, another notable organization within the city's economy, is responsible for the marketing of municipal commercial and industrial areas, including area development, advertising, customer acquisition, and real estate allocation.
The economic development agency Hamburg Invest, through initiatives like the Scaleup Landing Pad Hamburg, is committed to fostering a dynamic and sustainable startup ecosystem in Hamburg. For more information and to apply, visit landingpad.future.hamburg.
