That comes from the Smart City Index 2020 of the digital association Bitkom.

Among other things, online citizen services, sharing offers for mobility or intelligent traffic light systems and broadband availability are included in the evaluation.

According to the jury, Leipzig scored points with a platform on which local products can be bought online and the “Hardware for Future” project. Leipzig residents can also donate their discarded laptops and smartphones.

This puts the trade fair city in 12th place overall, and Dresden in 24th. Hamburg ranks at the top.

In 2019, the state capital maintained the top position in the east.
