The Innovationspark Altona is a key component of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg's innovation strategy. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the renowned Bahrenfeld research campus, which has developed into a global hotspot for structural research in recent years. With facilities such as the research center Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), the University of Hamburg and pioneering institutions such as the X-ray laser research facility XFEL and PETRA, Science City Hamburg Bahrendfeld has already become a magnet for first-class research and innovation.
Raising the potential of science
The Innovationspark Altona builds on this rich potential. With the opening of the tecHHub, which specializes in biological and chemical wet laboratories, in 2024, the park is setting a first milestone. Planning for DESY Innovation Factory II, which focuses on physical laboratories, is also already in full swing. These facilities offer start-ups, spin-off initiatives and young companies a space for development and networking.
Innovation ecosystem
In addition to these laboratories, the “ Innovationspark ” offers additional space for companies specializing in research and development in the fields of structural research, life sciences, nanotechnology, laser technology, materials science, and quantum computing. Thanks to its close ties to Hamburg’s innovation ecosystem, companies can benefit from the outstanding opportunities arising from the integration of research, education, and innovation.
Innovationspark (Altona ) plays a key role in establishing Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld as a leading hub for research and innovation and in securing the city’s future as a pioneer in these fields.
" Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld will be the new pulse for innovation in our city - a place where science, business and life come together in a unique way. We support Science City so that it can successfully drive innovation as a laboratory for the future."
