Research and development in this field have been underway here since at least the 1960s. The semiconductor manufacturing facilities\u2014known as \u201cfabs\u201d\u2014of well-known companies such as Bosch, Infineon, GlobalFoundries, and X-FAB are a central pillar of the economic success of the entire cluster and the region. A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as startups\u2014from the design sector and key parts of the supply chain\u2014are also active in our region and are working on innovative solutions for microelectronics. Thanks to close collaboration between industry, research, and academia, Saxony has become Europe\u2019s most important hub for the semiconductor industry, particularly in the area of manufacturing. One in every three chips produced in Europe comes from the Free State of Saxony.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column text-center expandable\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p style=\"text-align: left\">Absolutely cutting-edge research, world-class product development, highly and fully automated production factories &#8211; the semiconductor heart of Europe beats in Germany. Silicon Saxony has long since made a name for itself worldwide. But where are the chips of tomorrow actually being developed? Where are the big fabs in the industry? Which companies and institutions shape the German semiconductor market? In which working groups is the exchange taking place and what news is there from and about the actors from the region and beyond? We will keep you informed in this section.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_left\"><button class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_5 read-more-btn\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Read more<\/span><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_0d15be52 has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-vwrapper align_none valign_top\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_72fc42ef\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>YOUR CONTACT PERSON<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image style_circle align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/silicon-saxony.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AP_Team_Stefan_Uhlig.png\" class=\"attachment-us_200_200 size-us_200_200\" alt=\"Bild des Mitarbeiters\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/silicon-saxony.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AP_Team_Stefan_Uhlig.png 300w, https:\/\/silicon-saxony.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AP_Team_Stefan_Uhlig-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/silicon-saxony.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AP_Team_Stefan_Uhlig-45x45.png 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column m-t-2rem\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>Stefan Uhlig<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:+49 351 8973-3980\">+49 351 8973-3980<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:stefan.uhlig@silicon-saxony.de\">stefan.uhlig@silicon-saxony.de<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row teaser-columns via_grid cols_3 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:1rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_4817a1bd p-t-b-1rem has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><p class=\"w-text fs-1-5 semibold m-h-3 color-white text-center uppercase\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Working Groups<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_4817a1bd p-t-b-1rem has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><p class=\"w-text fs-1-5 semibold m-h-3 color-white text-center uppercase\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Projects<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_4817a1bd p-t-b-1rem has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><p class=\"w-text fs-1-5 semibold m-h-3 color-white text-center uppercase\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Topics<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-video align_none ratio_16x9\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><video  preload=\"metadata\" playsinline controls><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/preview.loewn.de\/fmd\/cdg\/250814-statements_ssd\/250814-loewn_fmd_chipdesign_ssd25_video13_silicon_saxony_preview_compressed.mp4\" \/><\/video><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Silicon Saxony Managing Director Frank B\u00f6senberg explains the importance of microelectronics.<br \/>\n<span><strong>Source:<\/strong><\/span> Fraunhofer Microelectronics Group | Research Factory Microelectronics Germany (FMD)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_0d15be52 tuerklinke height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default reversed stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Stay up to date: Subscribe to the Silicon Saxony newsletter now!<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The most important news, events, and opportunities to get involved in our network and the microelectronics industry\u2014always at a glance.
