Saxony

SAXONY! – A Place in Motion

Saxony has many pictures, and every picture tells a different story that in turn creates history: The digital heart of the chip industry beats in Dresden. In Leipzig and Dresden researchers and young entrepreneurs work hand in hand in the fields of biotechnology and environmental engineering. The traditional “heart” of Saxony’s industry beats in the region around Chemnitz/ Zwickau. Whether it be mechanical engineering or 100 years of “Autoland Saxony” – an industry rich in tradition has developed from smart ideas and intelligent solutions. Today, Saxony is a prime business venue for global players – Volkswagen, BMW, and Porsche, AMD and Infineon, NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT, STARRAG, and GlaxoSmithKline.
