A network for the future

In order to remain at the top in future the region's economy has been working hand in hand with the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg within the framework of the Logistics Initiative Hamburg since 2006.

The Initiative is assisting in the formation of a network within the business, academic and political communities ranging from the exchange of information to long term cooperation.

The Logistics Initiative Hamburg acts as a channel for companies' ideas, demands and interests. Obstacles to growth can thus be clearly identified and removed. This includes the qualification and brokerage of personnel; the preparation and provision of commercial property and sites for development; and a transport infrastructure meeting logistics requirements. Development management services for companies considering locating in the region are supplied from one source.

A particular focus lies on the promotion of innovation and new technologies with the aim of supporting the region and creating new jobs. To this end workshops, research groups and conferences are regularly organised to systematically improve the region’s knowledge regarding developments relevant to the sector.
