Invest Region Leipzig Supports Sportradar in Relocation to Leipzig

Big win for the business location

Leipzig, [19 March 2025] - Invest Region Leipzig GmbH (IRL), a municipal corporation of the City of Leipzig and the District of Leipzig, is pleased to have supported Sportradar in its relocation from Gera to Leipzig in Spring 2025, advising on office search and ensuring a smooth transition to the new location. The move will bring more than 100 employees to the trade fair city.

Growth in Leipzig

Leipzig is well situated to realise further growth. Its central location and ties to central Germany as well as its excellent transport links - especially its proximity to Berlin - enable rapid dialogue with customers and business partners. Leipzig is also regarded as one of Germany's emerging business centres. The multinational environment and the availability of qualified IT specialists are important location factors for Sportradar, which employs many international staff.

Michael Körner, Managing Director of IRL said: “We are delighted that Sportradar has chosen Leipzig as its new location. This settlement is an important signal for the economic development of our region and at the same time shows that Leipzig is an important sports and technology city. We at Invest Region Leipzig are proud to have supported the company in its search for suitable premises and throughout the entire relocation process. We are also pleased to now hand over the ongoing support for Sportradar to the City of Leipzig, ensuring a smooth transition as the company settles into the region.”

Invest Region Leipzig as a strong partner

Michael Schwartz, SVP Content Production and Operations at Sportradar said: "This relocation allows us to benefit from Leipzig's dynamic and innovative environment and further increase our efficiency and productivity. Leipzig’s large pool of talent, especially in the IT sector, affords us a unique opportunity to take our technological development and data collection to a new level. IRL has been a strong partner whilst planning this move."
