that works
Saxony is one of the most dynamic life science regions in Germany: around 450 companies and over 30 research institutions are working here on the medical solutions of tomorrow.
Medical technology is particularly strong, accounting for around 70% of the healthcare industry alone. This is where intelligent implants, smart diagnostic procedures and digital applications for a better life are being developed. The pharmaceutical industry is also deeply rooted, with a long tradition and a strong network of partners.
Research and development focus on future-oriented topics such as cell and gene therapy, bioinformatics, regenerative medicine and digital health.
And there is also a lot going on in the food industry: over 370 businesses, mostly small and medium-sized enterprises, ensure quality, variety and regional specialities – from bakery production to fruit processing. This is where craftsmanship, technology and modern production come together.
