MESSE DRESDEN

SEMICON Europa is the industry's leading European forum for addressing the challenges facing today's global semiconductor industry. Connect with new customers. Demonstrate your technologies. Find the people shaping the future of microelectronics design and manufacturing in Europe. SEMICON Europa 2010 will be located again in Dresden at the heart of the Silicon Saxony.  And, in 2010 the exhibition will be co-located with the Plastic Electronics Europe Conference under the umbrella of "Converging Electronics Week 2010" and is expected to draw a large attendance of professionals within the electronics research community and electronics industry worldwide.

Located in the heart of Germany's Saxony region, Dresden is arguably the largest European center of high-technology development. 60 percent of Erope's IC makers an 80 percent of Europe's photovoltaic makers are located within 150 km of Dresden. Saxony is home to more than 1,500 high-tech companies employing more than 43,000 people. More than microelectronics, the Saxony region boasts major centers of photovoltaics, MEMS/MST, flexible displays and electronics, and R&D. The proximity of these innovative and emerging markets and research facilities pasitions SEMICON Europe to grow as an engineering platform for multiple technologies, bringing the latest products, innovations, and solutions in microelectronics and thin-film manufactoring to a larger and more diverse audience. With the move to Dresden, SEMICON Europe will be at the center of a strong semiconducto region an a diverse high-technology community. With a focus on innovations and solutions, SEMICON Europe will bee an engineering showcase, with themes and technical programs focused on innovations enabling increased fab productivity, revolutions in packaging, and emerging markets and applications beyond semiconductors.
