HyExperts II: Chemnitz Region

About the region

Chemnitz and its surroundings have been considered the cradle of Saxon industry since the 18th and 19th centuries. Companies based here today in the key sectors of the automotive and supplier industry, information technology, mechanical and plant engineering, as well as microsystems technology, the semiconductor industry and in the field of renewable energy and environmental technology, continue to uphold this tradition. The most significant potential for business as well as business-related research and development is concentrated in the Chemnitz-Zwickau region, whereby the university town of Freiberg in Central Saxony has developed into a hub of innovative companies, not least due to the TU Bergakademie. The Vogtland region with the regional centre of Plauen and the Erzgebirge district are also home to industrial expertise and development potential.
