Hamburg Global Innovators Circle Meetup
🩵 Thanks to everyone who joined our end of the year party! It was really inspiring seeing the community come together, sharing stories, and making new friendships and connections 😊
Ten meetups throughout 2025. Over 400 members and 627 people who've walked through the doors to build something real together.
We started as a handful of international founders trying to hack German bureaucracy and find our people in Hamburg. Now we're a community that includes everyone from pre-founders figuring things out to investors, public representatives, and established innovators.
What hasn't changed? The eye-level, grassroots vibe that lets people actually open up, be vulnerable, and grow together. That's rare, and we're deeply grateful for your support and feeling lucky we've managed to keep it this way.
🚀 And now, after a short winter break, as we're leaving 2025 behind and kicking off 2026 together - we're excited to announce the 11th Hamburg Global Innovators Circle meetup, this time in collaboration with Fieldfisher!
We're heading to the stunning Fieldfisher offices in HafenCity. Huge thanks to Philipp and the Fieldfisher team for hosting us - they're providing the space, drinks, finger food, AND two keynote talks from their partners. That's the kind of support that makes our community work.
🌐 New here? We're an English-speaking community for international founders and entrepreneurs in Hamburg. Germans are absolutely welcome - we just ask everyone to keep conversations in English so nobody's left out.
