Universities in Hamburg as Startup Launchpads

​Discover how Hamburg’s universities can power your startup journey. In this 45‑minute session, Startup City Hamburg gives an overview of the key university actors, innovation hubs, and collaboration opportunities available to both students and external founders. Participants will learn how to engage with universities and transition from campus into Hamburg’s broader startup ecosystem. Startup Port then explores how academic environments support startup founders — from international student entrepreneurship and accessing their event programme, to opportunities and risks for spin-offs.
