Scaleup Hamburg is entering the fourth round of its Soft Landing Programme and is once again looking for five international growth companies with sustainable technology solutions that want to gain foothold in Hamburg. The application phase runs until 23 February 2025. The programme supports these scaleups with tailored services for a successful market entry in Hamburg and Germany.
In two phases to success in the Hamburg metropolitan region
Scaleup Hamburg brings the selected growth companies together with established companies from the Hamburg metropolitan region in two phases. In the first phase until summer 2025, the participating scaleups are supported with a detailed analysis of their product for the German market and in adapting their market entry strategy. This will be followed by an individual matchmaking process, which will involve concrete collaborations and pilot projects with Hamburg-based companies to bring the new technologies to Hamburg. This comprehensive approach ensures that expanding companies can quickly contact potential clients and are optimally prepared for the German market.
Since its launch in 2022, 24 pilot projects have already been initiated between scaleups and Hamburg institutions, with more in the pipeline. In order to be selected for the new programme by the Scaleup Hamburg jury, the growth companies must demonstrate business success in their home market, be in a strong growth phase and show the intention to establish themselves locally in the Hamburg ecosystem. The program intake phase begins in April 2025 and interested scaleups can apply until February 23.
