Nature meets
innovation
Climate protection, energy transition, sustainable agriculture – in Saxony, we don’t just talk about it, we put it into practice. Whether green hydrogen, smart grids or innovative solar technologies: around 700 companies and numerous research institutions are working every day to make our energy supply more sustainable and efficient. This industry map shows you selected key players and regional focal points with a focus on energy innovations (source: Saxony Trade & Invest Corp. – WFS).
Smart solutions are also being developed in the region for recycling, the recovery of rare raw materials and the use of waste heat. The responsible use of resources is always at the forefront.
And in agriculture? That’s where tradition meets the future. Saxony has been an important location for agricultural technology for over 160 years. Today, digital tools, autonomous machines and sustainable farming methods ensure that cutting-edge technology is also used out in the fields.
From energy to the environment to agriculture – discover degrees that open up a wide range of opportunities for you to play an active role in shaping a sustainable future:
