Whether it’s your own four walls, a cosy café or a coworking space – whoever works on the computer can now often choose where to do it.

For once, we met them in their office in Hamburg.
Hamburg has nine official twin cities, including St. Petersburg, Shanghai and Chicago. Actually, Austin should also be on this list, because best relations between the Hanseatic city and the venue of the SXSW festival have existed for a long time. Hamburg has been presenting itself at the legendary event for over 10 years, and Hamburg’s startups have been making a name for themselves every year since 2014. Led by Hamburg Startups, a strong startup delegation from Elbe and Alster will travel to Texas again soon.

And with the Oktober Fest just around the corner, the topic is more current than ever!
Naming a startup or a product almost never comes first. Any entrepreneur will tell you that. You first think of a concept or an idea, weighing the costs and the benefits and, if the result is conclusive, you might want to go ahead with your project and name it.
