Genuinely curious how these events fall in place. I'd like to know how long a selection process like this takes, were there other cities in the running, and how did Dresden become the choice. Is the best similarity with how car companies like VW and Honda choose cities in the US?


Dresden is kind of a semiconductor hotspot in Germany. AMD and Infineon have factories there for example which also attracted suppliers and related technology to the area.
