TuTech

Thirty years ago, TuTech embarked on a mission. Right here at Harburger Schloßstraße 6-12, TuTech began fostering innovation. TuTech, short for Technology Transfer Center of Hamburg University of Technology, was established in 1992. It was Germany’s first university-owned knowledge transfer company. The goal was to bridge the gap between groundbreaking university research and real-world applications. TuTech wanted to make inventions into innovations. The team at TuTech has been connecting bright minds from science with businesses and society for three decades. They have witnessed countless ideas blossom at this very spot. They’ve seen innovations in alternative fuels, compostable plastics, mRNA-based medicine, and AI-driven digital solutions. TuTech supports researchers and students in various areas. This includes cooperation, contract research, intellectual property rights, and spin-offs. They’ve seen processes evolve and change, constantly adapting to the ever-shifting landscape of technology. Today, TuTech at Harburger Schloßstraße tackles the pressing challenges of our time. They seek solutions to the climate crisis, explore sustainable innovation, and empower social entrepreneurship. TuTech continues to connect people, support ideas, and encourage risk-taking for a better future. Their optimism stems from the trust of their shareholders, partners, and clients. It’s fueled by the dedication of their team, who tirelessly pave the way to a sustainable tomorrow. As computer scientist Alan Kay said, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” And that’s precisely what TuTech strives to do, right here at Harburger Schloßstraße, in the heart of Hamburg.
