Europe’s largest cluster for organic and flexible electronics

With its 40 companies and 20 research facilities Saxony is Europe’s largest cluster for organic and flexible electronics. The region covers the entire value creation chain ranging from fundamental research all the way to finished products. For example, Saxony is the place the technological leaders in energy-efficient organic light-emitting diodes as well as the producers of the most efficient organic solar cells call home.

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.
