EYES AND EARS FOR SMART
FACTORIES AND CARSIntelligent machines in smart factories aswell as autonomous, self-driving cars require
electronic sensor systems and real-time dataprocessing in order to orient themselves in theirenvironment and to interact with humans. Manyof these systems are developed in Saxony, forexample, at BASELABS and Intenta in Chemnitz
or at Wandelbots, iSAX, SYSTEMA, and SAP in
Dresden.

The endowed chairs of Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom at TUD Dresden
University of Technology have already been assuming a leading role inthe mobile communication technologies of the future for many years
now. Since 2014, the “5G++ Lab Germany” in Dresden has been thefocal point of 5G / 6G research. 600 scientists are working here together
in interdisciplinary teams – supported by such renowned
industrial partners as Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, Nokia,Ericsson, BOSCH as well as BMW and VW. Vodafone hasbeen setting up its global development center for 5G /6G communication in Dresden since 2021.

THE RIGHT (ORGANIC) CHEMISTRY
With about 40 companies and 20 R&D facilities, Saxony
is considered to be one of the leading centersfor organic and flexible electronics. Expert
knowledge and materials from Novaled inDresden are found in virtually all OLED
displays. Heliatek mass produces
organic solar cells in a unique roll-toroll process in Dresden. Researchers atTU Dresden’s Integrated Center for Applied
Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) workon a new type of flexible retinal implants that

A SUCCESS STORY WITH
A BRIGHT FUTURE“Silicon Saxony” got its name in conjunction withan investment of the US company AMD in
Dresden (today GlobalFoundries Fab 1)
in 1996. Siemens (today Infineon) wasalso among the first to discover“Silicon Saxony.” The successstory has been uninterrupted until
today: Numerous regional SMEs andsubsidiaries of global players all forma unique interdisciplinary ecosystem. The
most recent “benefiters” are BOSCH (2017)
and TSMC (2023).
