Expansive developments unfold in Europe's silicon hub: Significant financial investments and groundbreaking innovations mark the Silicon Saxony expansion
In the heart of Silicon Saxony, Europe's leading semiconductor region, exciting developments are underway. Dresden, a city known for its rich history, is rapidly transforming into a hub for microelectronics innovation.
Exyte, a renowned company specializing in designing, building, and delivering high-purity and sustainable facilities for the chip industry, is expanding its presence in this bustling region. Exyte's expansion underscores the growing importance of Silicon Saxony, as stated by Dirk Hilbert, the Lord Mayor of Dresden.
Simultaneously, several startups are driving innovation in microelectronics at the Dresden location. One such startup is Bios SAW, which is involved in the development of novel biosensors for heart attack diagnosis. Chipmaker SAW COMPONENTS is also working on biosensors to provide more accurate heart attack diagnoses. Chipmetrics GmbH, a Finnish startup, focuses on producing sensor chips and wafers for semiconductor process control.
The innovation doesn't stop at heart attack diagnosis. Startups in Dresden are developing novel biosensors for various medical diagnoses, including cancer and infections. In the future, other fields such as cancer or infection diagnosis will be added to the biosensors developed in Dresden.
GlobalFoundries, a chipmaker, has announced plans to invest over a billion euros in Dresden. The federal government is also contributing several hundred million euros to this investment. The new expansion includes a center for engineering and project management, offering space for approximately 150 employees. Construction work for GlobalFoundries' expansion is expected to begin soon.
The expansion of GlobalFoundries and the growing presence of Exyte are not the only construction sites in northern Dresden. Construction sites at ESMC and Infineon are also progressing, further intensifying microchip production in the region.
Even medium-sized suppliers are benefiting from the billion-dollar investments. Sachsen Kälte, a supplier, recently opened another location near the major players, taking advantage of the thriving microelectronics industry in Dresden.
eMAXX, another startup, is involved in manufacturing control cabinets for chemical and gas supply systems of large factories in Dresden. The investment aims to significantly increase production capacities to around 1.5 million wafers per year, demonstrating the commitment to the growth of the microelectronics industry in Dresden.
As the city continues to evolve, Dresden is becoming a beacon for microelectronics innovation, attracting both established companies and ambitious startups. The future of microelectronics in Dresden looks promising, with advancements in biosensors, semiconductor process control, and control cabinet manufacturing.
