Dresden is an intersection between cultures: An inimitable setting, theatres and music halls of international importance, unique museums and collections make a visit worthwile.
Tradition and innovation merge to a creative spirit that gives wings to both art & culture and research & science.

In Dresden, nature and recreation can be enjoyed right in the city centre - in green parks and the Elbe meadows. The close surroundings offer gentle vineyards and wooded hills, bizarre rock formations and much more.

Don't miss to get infected with Saxon attitude to life: Feast in the manner of Augustus the Strong, dine in Baroque inner courtyards or high above the Elbe, discover the bars and alternative culture!

Dresden is an extremely dynamic and internationally significant business location and centre of science and research - of the past, the present and the future. Two of the key technologies of the 21^st century, nanotechnology and biotechnology make up, together with microelectronics, the city's future-oriented fields of competence. They are the basis of decisive growth and development impulses for Dresden.With state-of-the-art production plants for AMD and Infineon-Quimonda the city is Europe's leading microelectronics location. With 80 of the 500 companies nation-wide Dresden is also Germany's centre for nanotechnology and thanks to a pharmaceutical industry with a long tradition also one of the most important locations for biotechnology. In addition to companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and the Menarini Group many smaller companies in this sector have established themselves in Dresden.EADS, the world's leading aerospace company, made Dresden into a competence centre for converting Airbus passenger aircraft into freighters.

With seven universities, four Leibniz Institutes, three Max-Planck Institutes and nine Fraunhofer Institutes Dresden has a high density of research facilities. The intensive co-operation between commerce and science provide many points of contact for conferences and congresses.

In Dresden science and art, tradition and innovation are not contradictory, but rather form a unique symbiosis.
