Opening [at] location in Leipzig in 2020: a bold step with a big impact

From the very beginning, founder and CEO Alexander Thamm saw the enormous potential of the Saxon business metropolis and was not disappointed. The location was founded in 2020 - despite the challenging times at the time.

The decisive factor in the choice of location was Leipzig's strong scientific landscape, with its renowned university and various research institutions in the field of data science. Another plus point was the central location, which enables [at] to optimally support customers throughout Germany from here. In connection with the decision in favour of the location, Alexander Thamm emphasised in conversation: ‘Our company is growing steadily, and we can still find well-trained specialists in Leipzig. Leipzig suits us - the economic region continues to grow, as does [at], it's a cool city. And we wanted to be represented here with a location early on.’

On course for success right from the start


The support provided by Invest Region Leipzig GmbH (IRL) paved the way for a smooth start, particularly in the areas of networking and skilled labour services. [at] quickly found a connection to the regional network and was able to recruit three employees for the new location in the first year.

Due to the growing number of employees, the original office quickly became too small. In February 2022, the company moved to the spacious premises in Rosentalgasse, which offer space for up to 15 workstations.


Today: An integral part of Leipzig's economy

Today, Leipzig is the second-largest location after Munich, with currently 35 employees. From the Leipzig office, the team inspires customers throughout Germany with its expertise in the fields of data science, artificial intelligence and digitalisation.

Statements from employees: enthusiasm and identification


In addition to the marvellous view from the office and the high quality of life in the city, the [at] employees have very individual reasons for identifying with the Leipzig location. Alexander Thamm himself also has a special connection to Leipzig, as his family comes from the city and he spent the first years of his life here.

Daniel Lampertseder, Senior Principal Data Engineer at [at], talks about the expansion in Saxony: ‘Leipzig has proven to be the ideal location. The expertise in the field of data science, the central location and the great growth potential of the region were exactly the right ingredients for our success. Over the past two years, the Leipzig site has grown to become AT GmbH's second-largest location in terms of the number of employees. There are currently 35 employees at the Leipzig site.’

Team leader Maria Fuchs shares her thoughts on the start in Leipzig: ‘The location opened at the same time as the first wave of coronavirus. It's all the nicer now to come to our office, which is much bigger but also tends to be almost too small again: one employee has become an entire team from a wide variety of departments. I have taken over the management of a team, almost all team members live near the office and one colleague has even moved from the Munich headquarters to Leipzig. We work hybrid, meet in the office or sometimes in Clara-Zetkin-Park or Rosental for consultations.’

The establishment of [at] in Leipzig is a prime example of a successful company relocation. The company has become a permanent fixture in Leipzig's economic landscape and contributes to the region's innovative strength.

The IRL would like to congratulate the company on its success and looks forward to working with it in the future!
