Since 2022, Data Week Leipzig has been a networking and exchange event that highlights the scientific, economic and social perspectives of data and its use. In 2024, the event welcomed around 530 representatives from administration, research, business and industry for five days in Leipzig’s New Town Hall. Completed and planned projects were discussed, focusing on how data can influence society and lay the foundation for improved social cooperation. Data Week Leipzig also serves as a platform for networking, exchanging experiences and recruiting.
The conference week will take place from June 10 to 13, 2025 in the New Leipzig City Hall.
