Business meets science

Cutting-edge research in Upper Lusatia - how WE, the local economy and science, benefit.

Begin 15. January 2026 - 18:00 Uhr
End 15. January 2026 - 21:00 Uhr

Major topics such as semiconductor production in Dresden, astrophysics research at the DZA in Görlitz, the establishment of new facilities by Fraunhofer and DLR or new research projects at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences often seem far away to small and medium-sized companies. But this is exactly where we come in: What opportunities are opening up for regional SMEs? Where do concrete interfaces arise? And how can science and business shape the future together?

You can look forward to:
  • A keynote from the semiconductor industry: Chips made in Europe - opportunities for SMEs in Upper Lusatia
  • Impulses & panel with SMEs, universities and business development: What does it take for local companies to benefit from scientific settlements and large companies?
  • Matching & theme tables: Direct discussion opportunities with science, business and business development
  • Networking & exhibition in the foyer with projects, practical examples and partners from the region
  • Get-together with catering

Organizers: IHK Dresden, Allgemeiner Unternehmerverband Zittau und Umgebung e. V., Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz, Handwerkskammer Dresden
