Team
More than 40 bright minds in the interdisciplinary team
Motivation, curiosity and enthusiasm – the sources from which our team draws its energy are climate-neutral, emission-free and renewable every day. Hamburg Institut thrives on the spirit that working here is more than just a job. We want to make a visible difference with our special skills and personalities. The feedback from our clients confirms that we are on the right track. With the diverse and in some cases highly specialised competences in our ranks, we have long since ceased to be an insider tip in certain specialist areas – including heat storage, large-scale heat pumps and certificates of origin – and are now a preferred contact throughout the industry.
Hamburg Institut consists of two companies: Non-profit HIR Hamburg Institut Research gGmbH concentrates on research projects, while HIC Hamburg Institut Consulting GmbH focuses on the consulting business. Another important part of the company is the employee company Trimaran UG & Co. KG, through which numerous employees hold shares in the Hamburg Institut – currently around 25 per cent.
