"We can only establish the energy technology of the future, if there are well-trained women and men in Hamburg to do so," said Armin Grams, Managing Director of the Chamber of Commerce's education platform for lifelong learning. The course should boost Hamburg as a business location and counteract the lack of skilled labour as part of the "Hamburg 2040" strategy to establish the city as a hub of hydrogen technology.
