DivisionPhotovoltaics

the Silicon Saxony division Photovoltaics was created as an informa-tion and contact platform for the participants in the rapidly grow-ing field of solar engineering in 2008. due to the enormous pressure posed on the enterprises to achieve the grid parity, the division has developed into an excellent service provider for its members within a short time. this is realized mainly through the project SolarcorE (corE = cost reduction) sponsored by bMWi (Federal Ministry of Economics and technology) and through the project advancement in single work groups.

the division Micro-/Nanoelectronics represents the origin and heart of Silicon Saxony e. v. At the end of 2000, 20 enter-prises and research institutions involved in microelectronics came together to found this trade association as a platform for information, communication and coop-eration. Numerous work groups address topics as the history of the Saxon micro-electronics (published as “Silicon Saxony – the Story”), training and further training tailored to suit the market needs, research and development, national and interna-tional cooperation, ic design, equipment and many more.
