The Saxon state capital is not only an attractive metropolis; it has also evolved into an acknowledged and dynamic city of business and science over the past few years. This is easily demonstrated in a very impressive manner by the city's spectacular and successful business setups, continuous economic growth, rising sales figures, substantial expansion of already established enterprises, decreasing unemployment figures, and growing purchasing power as well as its top placement in all famous economic rankings.
The city's economy is based on a wide range of branches. Thus, the decisive impulses for growth and development emanate from the three future-oriented fields of competence: microelectronics/information and communication technology, nanotechnology/new materials, and life sciences/biotechnology. But Dresden also has an exceptional concentration of research institutions. One of the outstanding features of the venue is the close link existing between research and industry which results in superb performances and innovative developments while setting worldwide impulses. Very motivated and highly qualified employees, of whom 55 % work in the high tech sector, reinforce this trend.
Dresden's Economic Development Department systematically prepares the groundwork to safeguard and expand the high tech location. The supply-oriented development of industrial and commercial zones, the construction and expansion of business founder and technology centers, the modernization and improvement of the infrastructure, shorter approval times, and individual consulting services are only some examples of the exceptional general conditions which are available to businesses today and in the future.
