“For our start-up, the business venue Saxony was the right choice in all respects. With pre-seed consulting and start-up coaching, we were supported already when we took our first steps into self-employment.
Dr. Christoph von Plotho, Siltronic AG
"In 1995, we picked Freiberg as our new location; and the past 20 years have clearly demonstrated why this decision was the right one. Today, Freiberg is one of our most important production sites for 300-mm wafers. This is no coincidence because Saxony’s microelectronics tradition dates back many decades. And that’s precisely why we find those well-educated employees in this region whose competence and willingness to work hard have become the foundation for our economic success."
Dr. Michael Süß, Webfleet Solutions
»The Leipzig site, which emerged from the acquisition of the datafactory AG corporation in 2005; later Tom Tom Telematics, is the technological center of Webfleet Solutions. The primary reason why we selected this location as our corporate site was the favorable environment for business setups in Leipzig.«
Prof. Dr. Frank Buchholz, University Hospital Dresden
"The Medical Faculty at the University Hospital Dresden is the youngest of its kind in all of Germany. Perhaps that’s the reason why there’s such a strong team spirit here. Since I moved with my family from San Francisco to Dresden in 2002, the research landscape has developed considerably in an international comparison – which is also due to the numerous excellence clusters found here."
Prof. Dr. Karl Leo, Dresden Integrated Center for Applied Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) at Dresden University of Technology
"Saxony excels with its great passion for technology and its innovative power. In organic electronics, for example, important leaps in development have been accomplished in Dresden: When it comes to organic semiconductors, for example, the region is actually a global leader. This is, last but not least, due to the motivated people, the superb cooperation across all organizations, and the excellent educational programs found here."
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. Gerhard Fettweis, Vodafone Chair Mobile Communications Systems at Dresden University of Technology / »cfaed« cluster of excellence / »5G Lab Germany«
"Dresden is one of the leading locations for the research on mobile communications technology in the world. This is where future technologies for the new 5G standard have been and continue to be developed, thus laying the foundations for the Tactile Internet. It is precisely this innovative spirit that distinguishes Dresden and makes it so attractive for me and my colleagues working in cutting-edge research."
Prof. Ezio Bonifacio, Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden – CRTD
"After having worked in London, in Perth/Australia, and in Milan, I came to Dresden in 2007. Here, I found the perfect environment for my research at the CRTD. When it comes to developing regenerative therapies, we benefit substantially from the interdisciplinary exchange. This applies both to the institute and the city’s scientific community."
Prof. Dr. Hans J. Naumann, NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT
„We selected Chemnitz as our corporate headquarters and, thus, also the headquarters of the NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT holding company because we wanted to send a clear signal that the NILES-SIMMONS-HEGENSCHEIDT Group has its decision-making center in Saxony."
