Dresden’s strong appeal as the heart of the European semiconductor industry is increasingly being recognized internationally and is attracting inquiries from Taiwan, Japan and Singapore, among others. <\/p>\n
“Dresden is growing as a location in important future-oriented sectors such as microelectronics. The fact that globally active companies are investing here proves that a permanent branch in Dresden is now seen as absolutely necessary,” explains Jan Pratzka, Mayor of Economic Affairs. <\/p>\n
“With the establishment of ESMC, Dresden has reached a size and importance that hardly any international high-tech company can ignore. We also notice this at important trade fairs such as the Hannover Messe and Semicon Europe, where we actively promote investment in Dresden,” says Steffen Rietzschel, Head of the Office for Economic Development. <\/p>\n
The twelve company settlements specifically complement established value chains and ensure innovation in Dresden. For example, Mitutoyo from Japan, the global market leader in precision length measurement technology, is exhibiting attractive solutions for the semiconductor and electrical industries at its new competence center in the TechnologieZentrum Dresden-S\u00fcd<\/p>\n
“We have already been active in Dresden for some time. The establishment of ESMC and the investments made by other semiconductor manufacturers put the location in a different league internationally. That is why we now also want to support our customers locally in Dresden.”<\/p>\n
With Marketech International Corp. from Taiwan and the market leader for laboratory automation Elemental Scientific Inc. from the USA, two internationally active suppliers for semiconductor production are also settling here, directly strengthening the dynamically growing microelectronics cluster Silicon Saxony.<\/p>\n
The relocation of Pfaffelhuber Recycling with a new site in Cossebaude expands the local recycling expertise and contributes to the sustainable development and use of resources in Dresden.<\/p>\n
The business service of the Office of Economic Development provides comprehensive support for companies interested in setting up in Dresden and those looking to set up a business. The services offered include assistance in finding a location and in the subsequent realization phase, advice on subsidies, support in the approval process, assistance with building applications and, if necessary, acting as a mediator to resolve conflicts. The services are available to all companies wishing to invest in Dresden, regardless of their size and the investment amount. <\/p>\n
