SAXONY! – One of Germany’s leading places for materials innovations

One of Saxony’s strengths can be found in the variety of industries present. Saxony is the birthplace of German industrialization, and long-standing industries – such as mechanical and automotive engineering, and Microelectronics / ICT – continue to flourish here. Researchers and young entrepreneurs between Leipzig and Dresden are working hand in hand in the future sectors biotechnology and environmental technology.

The constant demand for innovative materials from these industry sectors in turn stimulates research and production of new materials. Saxony holds an international top position in diverse fields of materials research and development. Already in 1993, the Materials Research Network Dresden (MFD) was created in which six institutes at the Dresden University of Technology and eight non-university research facilities are active in interdisciplinary research and development today. Two of Europe’s largest centers for R&D on production and processing technologies for lightweight construction materials are found at the Universities of Chemnitz (MERGE) and Dresden (ILK). Within the scope of the globally unique R&D cluster “Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed)”, the researchers work on entirely new technologies for tomorrow’s IT on the basis of novel materials – for example, silicon nanowires, carbon nanotubes, organic materials.

And, the German joint research project “futureTEX” – headed by the Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI) Chemnitz – advances pioneering methods and production processes in the field of technical textiles and, thus, seeks to develop customized textile-reinforced future products with entirely new functions and for innovative fields of application.
