Dresden: Europe’s Microelectronics Hub

We can already boast that every third chip manufactured
in Europe comes from Dresden – and this trend will only
continue to rise. In addition to the large semiconductor
and the microchip factories, around 2,500 companies in
Saxony with a total of 70,500 employees are active in the
field of information and communication technology: they
develop, manufacture and market integrated circuits or
provide the chip industry with materials and equipment.
On top of this, they produce and sell electronic products
and systems based on integrated circuits or develop and
market software.

Saxony is characterized by a strong, academic environ-
ment. Four universities, five universities of applied
science, nine Fraunhofer institutes, three Leibniz
institutes, one Helmholtz institute and two Max

building blocks of this future world.

In Dresden, Europe’s largest and most important micro-
electronics hub, we are researching the technological
foundations and innovative solutions for the most
pressing issues in close cooperation with the industry
sector: energy and resources efficiency, human-machine
interaction and real-time communication. CONTACT

TU Dresden is the fulcrum of these endeavors. With its Prof. Ronald Tetzlaff
extensive range of degrees tailored towards addressing Chief Officer Technology Transfer
