20 years of Humboldt-Innovation!

20 years of Humboldt-Innovation – what an evening! Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and helped make this special milestone possible!

On Monday, we had the pleasure of celebrating a very special anniversary together with long-time companions, partners from science, business, and the start-up world, as well as our wonderful team: 20 years of Humboldt-Innovation.

Our Managing Director, Volker Hofmann, opened the summer evening with inspiring conversations and reflections on two decades full of ideas, innovations, and collaborations—together with important companions who have supported and accompanied us along the way. In their contributions, they looked back on our shared journey and ahead to all that is yet to come.

With great music, delicious food, and a relaxed atmosphere, there was laughter, reminiscing, networking, and celebration—just the way we had envisioned this special evening.

We say THANK YOU—for 20 years of trust, collaboration, and co-creation.

And we look forward to everything ahead: new projects, fresh ideas, and strong partnerships.

We’re so glad that you are part of our journey!
