SMART SYSTEMS HUB – ENABLING IOT
The Smart Systems Hub in Dresden has been one of the national technology beacons of the German government’s “de:hub” concept since 2017. The plan: Within five years, Dresden is to lead the national development of smart systems. Supported by the three co-partners – Silicon Saxony, HighTech Startbahn and 5G Lab – the aim is to lift a technology platform for the construction of smart systems out of its cradle. In the long term, the plan is to develop and market concrete smart systems and overall IoT solutions consisting of local individual components in the areas of hardware, software and connectivity.
Members of Silicon Saxony receive a 10 percent discount on all bookable services of the Smart Systems Hub Dresden.
