Be part of the hip
On the site of the former US Army’s Patton Barracks rises a new hub for innovation in IT, AI, digitalization and life sciences: the Heidelberg Innovation Park, hip for short. A nexus of creativity and innovation aimed at researching and creating solutions and products for the digital future. A space that will offer a unique campus-like atmosphere, with trendy meeting points and flexible, multifunctional premises, where everything and everyone will be a stone’s throw away. The perfect setting for fruitful collaborations.
Hip adapts to your every need, whatever it may be. Is your company (still) a one-(wo)man-show? You’ve come to the right place: simply rent a desk in one of the many coworking spaces or in the International Business House. Do you need space for 500 people? No problem! Hip offers a wide variety of options:
- Buy a plot and be the master of your own development
- Rent a space in one of the refurbished, historical, existing buildings
- Rent a space in one of our new buildings
