With more than 700 members, Silicon Saxony is Saxony's largest high-tech network and one of the largest microelectronics and IT clusters in Germany and Europe. As a self-financed association, Silicon Saxony has been connecting manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, universities, research institutes, public institutions and industry-relevant start-ups in Saxony and beyond since its foundation in 2000. 

The focus of the cluster is on the technological trends of the present and future - e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, Internet of Things, sensor technology, energy efficiency, neuromorphic or edge computing. As a close cooperation partner of the Dresden Smart Systems Hub and the Leipzig Smart Infrastructure Hub, Silicon Saxony also offers direct access to the topics, projects and locations of the Digital Hub Initiative of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. 

As a high-profile information, communication and cooperation platform, as well as through participation in and the organisation of industry events, the association promotes the regional, national and international networking of its members. Targeted lobbying ensures, for example, the co-design of funding programmes - from the local to the European level. Experts of the network also ensure the transfer of know-how and close economic relations between the members in working groups and other formats and drive innovations forward.
