The House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) is a unique innovation campus located at Frankfurt Airport that brings together research institutions, companies, startups, and public sector organisations to develop intelligent solutions for logistics, mobility, and urban transport. Funded by the State of Hesse and supported by the city of Frankfurt, HOLM operates at the intersection of two of the city's core economic strengths — international logistics and transport innovation.
HOLM provides co-working space, event facilities, and collaboration platforms for over 100 resident organisations working on topics including autonomous driving, electric mobility, last-mile logistics, multimodal transport platforms, urban air mobility, and intelligent traffic management. The campus hosts regular hackathons, workshops, and conferences that bring together practitioners from across the mobility innovation ecosystem.
The facility's research partners include leading German universities and Fraunhofer institutes, ensuring that HOLM's innovation activities are grounded in cutting-edge science while remaining oriented towards practical application. HOLM's industry partners include major logistics companies, automotive manufacturers, public transport operators, and technology startups, creating a dense network of collaboration opportunities.
For Frankfurt's smart city development, HOLM serves as the primary innovation hub for mobility and logistics — two domains that are critical for a city whose economy depends heavily on its role as a European transport and logistics node. Solutions developed and tested at HOLM frequently find their way into Frankfurt's urban transport system and public mobility services. The campus's location at Frankfurt Airport — one of Europe's busiest airports and a major intermodal transport hub — provides a uniquely relevant testing environment for innovations in connected and intelligent mobility.
