1. Hamburg Global Innovators Circle

📅 Wed, June 10 · 18:00–22:30 · Fieldfisher, HafenCity · English

This one is special for us: Hamburg Global Innovators Circle is ElbScene’s first partner.

HHGIC has quickly become one of Hamburg’s most welcoming English-speaking communities for international founders and entrepreneurs. Their meetups bring together founders, operators, experts, public ecosystem people, and curious builders in a relaxed, open atmosphere.

The 15th Hamburg Global Innovators Circle Meetup takes place at Fieldfisher in HafenCity, in collaboration with Fieldfisher and the Healthcare Network. Expect drinks, finger food, partner keynotes, founder journeys, and plenty of time for conversations.

Looking for co-founders, team members, mentors, clients, or just founder friends who understand the journey? This is the room to be in.

Big shoutout to HHGIC for helping us connect Hamburg’s international founder scene — we’re proud to have them as our first ElbScene partner.

2. (Self-) Leadership for Female Founders

📅 Wed, June 3 · 10:00–18:00 · Onsite · English

Founding means leading — even before you feel fully ready for it.

This full-day interactive workshop is designed for female founders and aspiring leaders who want to build confidence, resilience, and authenticity in how they lead themselves and others. Expect short inputs, reflection, peer exchange, and practical tools for stepping into leadership without losing sight of what matters to you.

A strong pick for founders moving from “doing everything myself” into building teams, shaping culture, and becoming a visible leader.

3. Hamburg Legal Hackathon

📅 Fri, June 12 – Sunday, June 14 · Bucerius Law School

Legal tech meets AI, business, design, and weekend building.

The 2nd Hamburg Legal Hackathon brings students and young professionals from law, computer science, business, design, and other backgrounds together to work on practical solutions for the legal sector. This year’s theme is “(Legal) AI Buddies” — intelligent assistant systems that support and improve legal work.

You do not need to be an experienced coder to join. Interdisciplinary teams will develop ideas, prototypes, and concepts over the weekend, supported by mentoring and expert input. At the end, teams pitch to a jury and audience.

4. Themenwerkstatt: Was tun, wenn das Projekt festhängt?

📅 Tuesday, June 16 · 14:00–18:00 · Online

Every founder knows the feeling: too many open questions, too many stakeholders, too many meetings — and still no real movement.

This online workshop is for anyone whose project, offer, initiative, or startup idea feels stuck. Instead of adding another brainstorming session, you’ll explore methods that help you understand complex situations more clearly: who matters, what tensions are slowing things down, and where the real lever for progress might be.

You’ll work on a concrete case from your own practice and leave with new perspectives, clearer priorities, and a more structured way to move forward.
