Construction of the high-tech business incubator, a joint project of the City of Hamburg, DESY, and Universität Hamburg, is the first milestone for Science City Bahrenfeld. With a symbolic breaking of the ground, Hamburg's first mayor, Dr. Peter Tschentscher, the city's second mayor and senator for science and research, Katharina Fegebank, the chair of the DESY Board of Directors, Dr. h. c. Helmut Dosch, the president of Universität Hamburg, Dr. h. c. Dieter Lenzen, and DESY's chief technology officer, Dr. Arik Willner, launched construction works on the Innovation Centre. The Innovation Centre on the research campus in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld is a joint DESY, Universität Hamburg, and Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg project that will give a 'face' to the high-tech hub Science City Bahrenfeld, to be located in Hamburg's western suburbs. When completed in early 2021, it will provide around 2,600 m 2 of office and laboratory space for start-ups working in fields covered on the research campus. The Innovation Centre will be operated by a limited liability corporation, the Innovationszentrum Forschungscampus Hamburg-Bahrenfeld GmbH, headed up by Arik Willner.
