UEFA EURO 2024

The football world as a guest in Hamburg

Hamburg impressed as host of the UEFA EURO 2024 and set impressive accents. The city attracted international attention with the spectacular group draw in the Elbphilharmonie concert hall and the creative container staging in the harbour. With the campaign "Hamburg. There's something going on." campaign, the city used the EURO 2024 to present itself as a cosmopolitan and sport-loving metropolis - a success that will radiate far beyond the tournament.

Future Hamburg Award

An award for innovation

For three years, the Future Hamburg Award honoured visionary start-ups that were shaping the urban future with innovative ideas. From sustainable solutions to technological breakthroughs, the award provided valuable impetus that had an impact far beyond Hamburg. the award was presented for the last time in 2023, but the inspiration and innovations supported remain an important part of Hamburg's commitment to a liveable and sustainable future.
