Hamburg’s coolest tech events, delivered to your every Monday.

Editor’s Note

Hey, dear reader!

This issue marks the first month of found Hamburg! To celebrate, I’ve got some updates for you.

Starting this week, you'll be hearing from us every week instead of bi-weekly. That means even more cool events to fill your calendar with.

So grab your coffee and let’s dive into it!

What’s Inside

I just got back from Tallinn, where I attended Latitude59 — Estonia's flagship tech conference.

Fun fact: both Tallinn and Hamburg were major players in the Hanseatic League back in the day. That medieval trading spirit is still very much alive and kicking in Estonia's startup scene today. The energy there is insane, and honestly, we need to copy their homework 😄

Anyway, let’s see what cool events are coming up this week in our own city.
