Today the 2021 Future Hamburg Award was presented as part of a digital awards ceremony at the International Innovation Day by Plug and Play Hamburg.
The winners of this year’s award are the high-impact startups Breeze Technologies, traceless materials, and Infinite Mobility. Based in Norway and Germany, these three startups convinced the Future Hamburg Award’s expert jury with their smart solutions for sustainable cities of the future.
Up-and-coming businesses from 15 countries had applied for the award. Bonus prizes by homePORT, a partner of the award, were also bestowed on the teams of Blue Atlas Robotics from Denmark and KONVOI from Germany.
The three winning teams will be invited to join a tailor-made programme by the Hamburg Startup Unit and will be able to take their business model or products to the next level as part of the Reallabor Hamburg mobility project. Moreover, they will be supported in building a high-quality industry network and establishing contacts with investors. The first-place startup, Breeze Technologies from Germany, will also be able to take part in an international four-week accelerator programme hosted by Plug and Play in Silicon Valley.
In addition, the homePORT innovation campus of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) is contributing attractive bonus prizes: Blue Atlas Robotics from Denmark and KONVOI from Germany will have the opportunity to develop their products and solutions in the fields of logistics and maritime technologies at the HPA test field in Hamburg.
