Market Exploration

Hamburg’s fintech scene is rather small, but well connected. The scene comes together on a regular basis for different events such as the FinTech Meetup, 12min.me Finance meets Tech or bank association meets fintechs. In addition, the Fintech Week became an annual get-together for the scene. The Finanzlatz Hamburg e.V. is building bridges to the established financial sector. The association, which is led by local financial players, focuses on the well-being of Hamburg’s entire financial sector and is the industry’s central network.

Hamburg’s financial sector has a long tradition. The buildings of the established financial sector are concentrated around the old stock exchange building in the city center. An overview of the spatial distribution of Hamburg’s fintechs is provided by the Fintech Monitor. The city is generally characterized by short distances and offers an excellent public transport network, meaning that distances within the city can usually be bridged in a relatively short time. A large number of co-working spaces for a wide range of requirements open up the possibility of a quick start with the option of scaling up. And those who are looking for longer-term accommodation should turn to the location and real estate search of Hamburg Invest’s commercial real estate service.

As a trade and media hub, Hamburg has always been well equipped with specialists in the fields of sales and marketing as well as gaming. Companies can register their personnel requirements free of charge on the employment agency’s website. With various finance degree programs and research institutes in the city, Hamburg offers many young talents.
