The original home of the Beatles and two Premier League clubs, Liverpool is a global symbol of pop culture and passion. At the same time, the region is establishing itself as a modern, forward-looking hub with a strong capacity for innovation in science, healthcare and digital connectivity.

With the Liverpool City Region (UK) as its regional partner, the Hamburg PORT ANNIVERSARY is sending a message of international exchange, friendship and shared prospects – while also bringing a taste of British culture right to the banks of the River Elbe.
