Hamburg Talks Initiative convenes with Ulf Hahn, HanseBelt e.V.'s board member.
The city of Hamburg is gearing up for an exciting event series, as the Future Hamburg Talks make their way to Grabow in January 2025. This event is a significant part of the Summer of Pioneers, a series of events designed to inspire and innovate.
One of the key participants in these talks will be Dr. Carsten Brosda, the Senator for Culture and Media in Hamburg. His presence underscores the importance of these discussions, as he will share insights into how Hamburg can position itself as the "southernmost metropolis of Scandinavia."
Another prominent figure participating in the Future Hamburg Talks is Ulf Hahn, a respected voice in economic development. Mr. Hahn serves as the CEO of Economic Development Stormarn and is also a spokesperson for the Economic Development Council of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. Additionally, he is the CEO of the HanseBelt Association.
The Future Hamburg Talks in Grabow will focus on the economic opportunities arising from the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel, a major infrastructure project in Northern Europe. Scheduled for completion in 2029, this tunnel spans 18 kilometers and connects Germany and Denmark underwater via rail and road. The tunnel aims to bring the regions of Germany and Denmark closer together, fostering economic growth and collaboration.
An important aspect of these discussions will be the emphasis on sustainable logistics. As Hamburg continues to grow and develop, the need for environmentally friendly transportation solutions becomes increasingly crucial. The Hamburg Metropolitan Region is supporting businesses with Real-Lab, a program designed to foster sustainable mobility.
The Future Hamburg Talks promise to be a thought-provoking event, bringing together key figures in politics, business, and development to discuss the future of Hamburg and its role in the wider European landscape. Whether you're a local resident, a business owner, or simply interested in the city's growth and development, this event is not to be missed.
