01

Companies want to act – but face obstacles

Climate change is presenting companies with growing demands. Investments need to be planned, new regulatory requirements understood and additional processes integrated into existing operations.

Many organisations want to actively shape their transformation. At the same time, they often lack guidance, time and the right contacts.

The approach
KLIMAready connects knowledge, networks and different industries so that companies do not have to tackle challenges alone.
02

Seven industry clusters, one shared goal

KLIMAready is a joint project involving seven Hamburg clusters. It brings together stakeholders from business, academia and public administration.
