ONE HUB: THREE AREAS OF INNOVATION

Leipzig is home to many well-known corporates, startups and research institutes in the fields of energy, smart city and e-health.

Therefore, the German government acknowledged that this region will shape the digital transformation of these sectors as Smart Infrastructure Hub Leipzig. There are many good reasons for innovators like startups, researchers, SMEs or corporates in these sectors to come and stay in Leipzig.

A PROGRAM DEDICATED TO FURTHERING TECHNOLOGY

The Digital Hub Initiative is a program supported by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, in which 12 regions in the country were designated as hubs, each hub responsible for making advancements in certain areas of technology. Leipzig is the official Hub in Germany for Smart Infrastructure.

Coming from Zurich, we found a new home at Smart Infrastructure Hub Leipzig, where we not only attended the accelerator, but also won new partners and cooperators from the network. The associated fund Smart Infrastructure Ventures is among our seed investors. So we decided to stay in this ecosystem and opened an office in the hub coworking space.
