Hamburg Innovation GmbH (HI) and TuTech Innovation GmbH (TuTech) thereby also make up an important element in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg’s business development policy. With this knowledge transfer tandem including all of its universities, Hamburg is playing a pioneering role in Germany.
TuTech handles HI’s business operations. Dr. Helmut Thamer is the managing director of both companies.
