The shortage of labor and skilled workers has been the defining issue in recent years. Well over 100,000 jobs remain unfilled in the ICT sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular, which according to the German government are “the backbone of the German economy,” are being affected and are having to tighten their proverbial belts. Silicon Saxony is also increasingly concerned about this development. At the special request of its members, Saxony’s largest high-tech network has therefore also been dedicated to this extremely challenging topic since 2020.
Saxony needs IC designers
Change The World – Edition 2025
To get young people interested in chip design, 15 Saxon companies joined forces and produced a recruiting video in the style of modern NETFLIX series. In the movie, Emma, a chip designer from the year 2050, accidentally meets Max, who works as a chip designer in the year 2025. Silicon Saxony led the project.
