Four issues that will decide whether Leipzig can still act ten years from now — with concrete measures, not declarations of intent.
“More than a billion in debt — and rising every month. That's not an inheritance, it's a bill.”
Leipzig doesn't live on debt — it lives on substance. A budget run on sound business principles — yes to investment, no to structural deficits.
“Business registration in 24 hours. Like in Tallinn.”
Commercial space, faster approvals, less red tape. A city where founders and established businesses alike want to invest.
“If you do research in Leipzig, you should be able to found a company here too.”
Bringing research and business closer together, enabling smart-city pilot projects, and opening city contracts to young companies.
Leipzig's future is decided in its schools and daycare centers. Clearing the maintenance backlog, paying staff better, and securing quality.
