DESY Innovation Factory
The DESY Innovation Factory will be a center for start-ups, bridge fundamental, applied and industrial reseach in the fields of life science and new materials. The integrated technology and start-up center is designed to be a hotbed for new and innovative ideas, services and products and play an integral part in the Science City Bahrenfeld.
The DESY Innovation Factory is planned and built by DESY with a projected opening in different phases until 2027. The integrated technology center and start-up incubator is geared towards strengthening innovation and the location for high-tech in the long run. A place where excellence from basic research, ideas from applied science and companies, from start-ups to established players in their respective market segment, can come together and bring new, innovative products or services for business and society into application. The DESY Innovation Factory will host novel ideas, cooperation projects between science and industry, start-ups and companies in various growth phases. There will be two locations, one on the DESY Campus an one in the innovation and technology park Vorhornweg, just a fewbike minutes away from the main DESY campus.
The DESY Innovation Factory is funded by federal resources and the City of Hamburg.
