Digital Hub Logistics enables its 85 start-ups to benefit from assistance from 24 established compa- nies in extremely varied areas of logistics. Among there are Nagel Group, Volkswagen Group Logis- tics, HHLA Next, Hamburg Port Authority, DHL and Dakosy. Digital Hub provides the opportunity for them to prepare their processes and business mod- els for the future.
A CENTRE FOR NETWORKING
Within the hub, participants are guaranteed the greatest possible degree of freedom and flexibility. CEO Berg’s motto runs: “The companies involved occupy the driving seat in developing innovation – Digital Hub Logistics provides the vehicle.” ‘The ve- hicles’ consists of the formats that promote ex- change and collaboration, as well as supplying the scope for trying out new ideas. Among these, for in- stance, are fortnightly hub lunches, workshops, competitions and the event format ‘cornering’ that facilitates sharing of successes among these young entrepreneurs and the discovery of joint solutions for problems.
A LIGHTHOUSE FOR LOGISTICS
“Digital Hub Logistics Hamburg is a breeding ground for clever ideas and smart innovations for the transport industry of the future,” says Dr. Peter
Tschentscher, Hamburg’s First Mayor. With its can- do spirit, Digital Hub Logistics has created an in- credibly strong association of entrepreneurs for the digitalization of the logistics sector. For the future, the ten-strong team is determined to beef up coop- eration with the other hubs in Germany and to build up an international network pursuing state-of-the art logistics. Anybody thinking about starts-ups and innovation in Hamburg, certainly needs to bear Dig- ital Hub Logistics in mind. ■ Saskia Hasskamp (sh)
Hubgrade – more space for fresh ideas
Digital Hub Logistics reached a milestone in its still brief history on 8 November 2022. The move to Sandtorkai 32 enlarged this hub from 1,800 to 3,200 square metres. Over five floors in Hamburg’s Warehouse City, mem- bers will in future have available extended workshop space, a relaxation facility, excel- lent technical facilities, and a generous area for events.
