The Innovationspark Altona is intended to provide space for innovative companies, create jobs and strengthen the innovation network of the anchor institutions DESY and the University of Hamburg. The park set its first milestone in 2024 with the opening of the tecHHub Hamburg, which specializes in biological and chemical wet laboratories.
Planning for the DESY Innovation Factory II, which focuses on physical laboratories, are already in full swing. These facilities offer start-ups, spin-off initiatives and young companies a space for development and networking. The aim of Hamburg Invest in developing the innovation park Altona is to attract innovative companies in collaboration with other municipal partners in order to retain and create as many new and high-quality jobs as possible in Hamburg.
