Collaborating with TU Hamburg

Harness the innovative power of Hamburg University of Technology – for research, skilled professionals, and sustainable solutions in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region and far beyond.

TU Hamburg as a Partner for Future Technologies

TU Hamburg has worked closely with regional, national, and international companies as well as public institutions for decades. Guided by the motto “Technology for Humanity,” the university develops sustainable technical solutions for key challenges of our time, including climate action, digitalization, and industrial transformation.

Engineering to Face Climate Change

Within the strategic initiative “Engineering to Face Climate Change,” institutes from civil engineering, mechanical engineering, process engineering, biotechnology, electrical engineering, computer science, logistics, and mobility combine their expertise. Together with partners from industry, academia, and society, we develop innovative approaches for a climate-neutral and resilient future. Application areas range from sustainable construction, renewable energy, and water and resource management to maritime and aviation technologies, machine learning, robotics, medical technology, and circular economy.

Diverse Forms of Collaboration

Companies, foundations, and partner organizations will find tailored opportunities for collaboration at TU Hamburg—ranging from talent development to research and technology transfer, and from joint projects to continuing education. Our partnerships are practice-oriented, reliable, and supported by dedicated contact persons.

Attracting and Developing Talent

Students apply their knowledge in real-world company projects, such as theses, practical assignments, or doctoral research. The dual study program dual@TUHH combines academic training with hands-on experience in partner companies, while the Career Center connects employers with future talent at an early stage. Talent development can begin even earlier through school-oriented programs offered by the NachwuchsCampus.

Knowledge Transfer and Research Partnerships

Knowledge and technology transfer have shaped TU Hamburg since its foundation. Through Tutech, companies can commission development projects, initiate research collaborations, or participate in thematic networks.

Philanthropy and Support

Many partners already contribute to research and education—through the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship program or by establishing endowed professorships. These forms of engagement create new fields of innovation and strengthen research priorities.

Continuing Education for Professionals

With programs offered by the Northern Institute of Technology Management (NIT), postgraduate master’s degrees, and courses provided through the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU), TU Hamburg supports companies in the targeted qualification of their employees.

Shaping the Future Together

TU Hamburg combines scientific excellence with application-oriented research, fosters the talent needed for tomorrow’s economy, and brings innovations from the Hamburg Metropolitan Region to the world.
