A future built on tradition

Hamburg has been a port city and trading centre for more than one thousand years. And ever since the rise of the industrial revolution in the second half of the 18th century, this traditional merchants’ town gradually turned into a major industrial location too. In the course of this, technology, productivity and research advanced at a rapid pace, laying the foundations for modern-day Hamburg.

Today, as digitisation has initiated a new industrial revolution, Hamburg is once again ahead of the game when it comes to leveraging new technological opportunities for the benefit of Hamburg’s residents and for developing new processes and products. With its broad industry base, Hamburg provides a solid foundation for this. In Hamburg, the future is built on tradition.
