Ingolstadt seizes the top position in the predictive ranking chart
In a positive turn of events, the City of Ingolstadt has once again proven its resilience and adaptability, securing a top position in the Prognos City Ranking 2025. According to Georg Rosenfeld, Economic Affairs Referent, Ingolstadt's constant commitment to innovation and sustainable development is the key to its very good performance in the ranking.
The Prognos Future Atlas, an economic research institute, assesses the future chances and risks of all 400 districts and independent cities in Germany based on 31 macro and socio-economic indicators. These indicators span across various areas, including demographics, labor market, competition, innovation, prosperity, and social situation.
Ingolstadt's consistent performance in the ranking is particularly notable in the "Competition & Innovation" category, where it has taken the leading position in Bavaria. Although the specific indicators that led to this achievement are not explicitly detailed, it is likely that Ingolstadt's strong performance is rooted in areas such as economic competitiveness, innovation capacity, presence of research institutions, and industrial strength.
One significant factor contributing to Ingolstadt's research and innovation capacity is the presence of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. As an automotive industry hub, Ingolstadt is also known for driving innovation, particularly in areas related to mobility and technology.
Mayor Dr. Michael Kern finds the repeated good placement of Ingolstadt in the Future Atlas encouraging. He emphasizes that the City of Ingolstadt will continue to strive to improve the framework conditions for the economy, science, and citizens, even in the face of current challenges. This commitment to progress is evident in Ingolstadt's continuous upward trend since the introduction of the "Future Atlas City Ranking" 20 years ago.
In the latest examination, Ingolstadt achieved a top position, placing fourth nationwide. Moreover, Ingolstadt ranks second in the indicator "Strength", making it the strongest city in Germany. This strong showing in the ranking is a testament to Ingolstadt's resilience and its ongoing efforts to strengthen itself as an attractive location.
The City of Ingolstadt will continue to contribute to its positive ranking in the Future Atlas, ensuring that it remains a livable and future-proof city. The transformation of the automotive industry remains a major challenge, but with its commitment to innovation and sustainable development, Ingolstadt is well-positioned to meet these challenges head-on.
