Hamburg Aviation
As part of the City of Hamburg’s strategic economic support for key industrial sectors, the Hamburg Aviation cluster agency brings together businesses, research, academia and public policy. Our aim: to ensure not only the ongoing economic success of the aviation industry but also to support it in its transformation towards a more environmentally friendly future.
Responding to the needs of our members and partners, our teams help our members develop solutions to the challenges facing the industry in a focussed and effective way. Dedicated teams for sustainable aviation, international relations, skills and careers, urban air mobility, cabin excellence and communications work with our members to support their business, develop skills and network with organisations at regional, national and international levels.
Ministry of Economy and Innovation
The Ministry of Economics and Innovation (BWI) ensures that Hamburg is in an excellent economic position and that companies find good framework conditions in the city. BWI also stands for innovative ideas, promotes promising industries and clusters and supports research and development.
Authority for Traffic and Mobility Transition
The Authority of Transport and Mobility Transition (BVM) keeps the city of Hamburg moving. It wants to use every opportunity to make it even more mobile in many areas and at the same time reduce climate-damaging emissions in the transport sector through a comprehensive sustainable mobility transition. In this way, we are making an important contribution to achieving Hamburg's climate targets.
Authority of the Interior and Sport
The Authority of the Interior and Sport ensures public safety and order in Hamburg. It ensures that Hamburg is and remains a safe city through the professional deployment of the police, fire department, constitutional protection and disaster control. In addition, the Department of the Interior is responsible for organizing all elections held in Hamburg through the State Electoral Office. Other important tasks of the authority are in the areas of immigration law, road safety and sport.

The HPA meets the growing demands of the port with intelligent and innovative solutions. The HPA is responsible for the efficient, resource-conserving and sustainable planning and implementation of infrastructure measures in the port and is the point of contact for all issues relating to water and landside infrastructure, the safety and ease of shipping traffic, port railway facilities, real estate management and economic conditions in the port.
