HELIATEK GMBH, DRESDEN

The global technology leader in the organic photovoltaics (OPV) sector, the Dresden-based Heliatek GmbH, is able to turn glass facades and panoramic cars roofs into energy collectors. With 6 percent, the company holds the world record in efficiency for flexible cells with a translucence of 50 percent. Initial pilot projects – for example, in China and Singapore – permitted Heliatek to successfully test the use of the Helia-Film^® solar foil on building facades and roofs made of glass, concrete, and PVC membranes. HeliaFilm^® is produced with a globally unique roll-to-roll process in Dresden.

NOVALED GMBH, DRESDEN

The Novaled GmbH is a spin-off of Dresden University of Technology and a global leader when it comes to technologies which are required for the production of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The company holds about 500 patents. Since August 2013, the specialist for highly efficient OLED structures with long lifespans has been part of the South Korean Samsung Group.

3D-MICROMAC AG, CHEMNITZ

Located in Chemnitz, the 3D-Micromac AG has established itself as a leading provider of individual, customized laser micromachining workstations for industrial applications and for research purposes. They are used, for example, in systems for the production of photovoltaic modules and components as well as in semiconductor production, medical technology, and the digital production of printed functionalities. For example, machines made by 3D-Micromac permit the structuring of OLED’s anode layers or the structuring of organic solar cells.

SMARTRAC TECHNOLOGY GMBH, DRESDEN

The Dresden-based SMARTRAC Technology GmbH is a member of the SMARTRAC Group which is a global leader in the development and production of RFID technology. In addition to standard products, the company also manufactures transponders and inlays according to specific customer requirements. These products are used for a wide range of applications, for example, passports and ID cards, mobile payment systems, public transportation, or electronic product identification. The corporate site in Dresden possesses extensive experiences and competences in flip-chip production and high end wafer technology as well as antenna and inlay design.

Organic Electronics Saxony (OES) innovation network

The Organic Electronics Saxony (OES) innovation network represents the interests of Europe’s leading cluster for organic, flexible and printed electronics, and thereby unites the key research and industry stakeholders in Saxony. Its declared strategic goal is to act as a driving force to further develop technology for the purpose of consolidating and gradually extending the know-how leadership of Saxony in a dynamically managed worldwide competition.

“EEInnovation” is a European initiative, in which OES, together with 31 partners, is keen on developing and commercializing the technological potentials of organic electronics as well as nanoelectronics / microelectronics.

“OES-international” is the name of the project, in which from 2016 on the OES stakeholders – in close collaboration with Japanese and British technology leaders – will develop organic and printed components to product maturity in Germany. The aim is to achieve the highest level of quality to be able to find applications in the automobile manufacturing, medical engineering and other industries.
