HAMBURG/NORTHERN GERMANY
The British Chamber of Commerce in Germany Region Northern Germany includes Hamburg, Schleswig Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Hamburg
is home of Europe's third-largest port so trade is one of the main commercial segments in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. But there is more: Corporations with significant representations in the city include multinationals like Airbus, Blohm + Voss, Aurubis, Beiersdorf, Kühne & Nagel and Unilever. Media businesses employ over 70,000 people. There are ICT firms such as Adobe Systems and Google Germany. 20 of Germany's biggest advertising agencies are also located in Hamburg. More than 40,000 people employed in Aerospace make Hamburg the world's 3rd largest civil aviation center.
Hamburg is also a major European science, research, and education hub, with several universities and institutions. The city enjoys a very high quality of living, being ranked 19th in the 2019 Mercer Quality of Living Survey.
Hamburg is often seen as the most British city in Germany. There are a variety of English-speaking communities, such as the Caledonian Society of Hamburg, The British Club Hamburg, British and Commonwealth Luncheon Club, Anglo-German Club e.V., The Arts Society Hamburg e.V., Friends of Britain e.V., The English Speaking Union of the Commonwealth, The Scottish Country Dancers of Hamburg, The Hamburg Players e.V., English Language Theatre Group, The Hamburg Exiles Rugby Club, several cricket clubs and The Morris Minor Register of Hamburg. There is also a 400-year-old Anglican Church community worshipping at St Thomas Becket Church.
Schleswig-Holstein is the most northerly German state bordering Denmark and with access to both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Government is committed to supporting advanced technologies – in the development of alternative energy sources, in medical technology and marine sciences. Lübeck for example is a center for Germany’s medical technology sector. Within the country’s research community, the city’s university is considered to be amongst those leading the medical field in molecular biology and biochemistry. There is also a long tradition of research in all areas of marine sciences in Schleswig-Holstein. The 'Geomareomar- Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel' offers the most diverse research and study program in Europe. In 2014, Schleswig-Holstein became the first German state to cover 100% of its electric power demand with renewable energy sources (chiefly wind, solar, and biomass).
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV) is located in the North of Germany bordering Poland to the east. The food industry is one of MV’s most important industrial sectors. It boasts a diverse range of products, including dairy products and juice, bakery products, sausage and meat products, baby food, rapeseed oil – and of course – fish from the Baltic Sea. In addition to conventional agriculture, organic farming is becoming increasingly important. In livestock production, the breeding of cattle and pigs plays the largest role.
The maritime industry is another important economic sector in MV. It is subdivided into ship and boat building, maritime suppliers as well as marine and offshore technology. The region’s Baltic Sea ports and the associated logistics sector are important growth stimulators. Thirteen ports offer modern logistical services. Shipbuilding in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mainly involves the areas of marine technology and specialty shipbuilding.
The IT sector is of growing importance to MV. In addition to already established companies, more and more start-ups have emerged in recent years developing new digital solutions.

"I have been engaged with the Chamber and been a member for over 20 years, seeing it grow to its current statue. The BCCG is a great networking platform and I am happy to say, we have generated some considerable business from that base." Dr. Rainer M.

"Der GB-Virus war früh gelegt, denn mit 9 Jahren war ich das erste Mal in einer der Summer Schools von Stanford & Ackel, auf das vier weitere Jahre folgten. Mit 19 servierte ich Lady Di und Prince Charles im Rahmen einer ihrer Staatsbesuche in Hannover den Apéritif. Nach 30 Jahren in der Hotellerie mit vielen internationalen Gästen unterstütze ich heute als Executive Coach und Sparringspartnerin Menschen in bedeutender gesellschaftlicher wie unternehmerischer Verantwortung und freue mich auf inspirierende Begegnungen im Netzwerk des BCCG.
