Silicon Saxony is a registered industry association of nearly 300 companies in the microelectronics and related sectors in Saxony, Germany, with around 40,000 employees. Many, but not all, of those firms are situated in the north of Dresden. With a name chosen referring to Silicon Valley, the area and the union — in many aspects — represent the last meaningful European center of microelectronics. Many of those firms have very research and capital intensive business models competing with subsidized global players, mainly from Asia.

The developed and produced small semiconductors chips are used in all kinds of cars, mobile phones, TV sets and so on. History Even before Germany's reunification, Dresden was a major center of microelectronics in the Eastern bloc with 3,500 employees. While mechanical engineering, which the south of eastern Germany has a very long history in, suffered after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the microelectronics industries were, with public help from the state, the first industrial sectors in Saxony which soon recovered and also paved the way for other industries. With many more employees today than before 1990, the sector is always under heavy pressure because South Korea in particular is very keen to attract the industry at any price. Saxony and Germany, however, are bound to competition laws of the European Union, but could manage to keep and expand most of all the research parts of the industry, which is seen as success but also seen as very risky whenever a bigger company has serious problems, because the sector demands high concentration of resources. Scientific environment Dresden, as core-region of Silicon Saxony and yet without the headquarters of many of today's big companies, is nevertheless a very remarkable technology center with one meaningful Technical University (German TU), ten other universities and most of all an unparalleled density of semi-public institutes of applied high-technologies in many fields (for example the Max Planck Society, Fraunhofer Society, Leibniz institutes, Helmholtz Association and other German academic elite institutions).
