The hit Technopark is a technology park in Hamburg-Harburg with laboratories, offices and production rooms in 19 buildings. It is home to around 110 companies with 600 employees from the technology sector on 28,000 square meters.
history
The hit Technopark was created in 1985 in cooperation between the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH) and the City of Hamburg in the factory halls of the car manufacturer Tempo as a home for start-ups. Most of the young entrepreneurs who researched and developed creative projects there were TUHH graduates. Since 1995 the park has developed into one of the most important high-tech locations in Hamburg, which has its own post office and a hotel with a conference center. The managing directors are Wolfram and Christoph Birkel.

In addition, TuTech, hit-Technopark and the Leuphana University of Lüneburg organize one-week start-up workshops with the INNOTECH Summer School.
