Key Competitive Attractions
The Free State of Saxony is located in the south-eastern part of Germany. It is bordering Poland and the Czech Republic to the east, as well as the German states of Saxony-Anhalt, Bavaria, Brandenburg and Thuringia. The capital is Dresden.
Saxony is amongst the fastest growing regions in Germany, and has the most vibrant economy among the former GDR states. Saxony has achieved a leading position among the world's most innovative locations for microelectronics. Large global corporations based in the region have attracted even more microelectronic companies to the area and made ''Silicon Saxony'' the centre of Europe's microelectronic industry. The city of Meissen is world-renowned for its porcelain, while Leipzig has a long-standing tradition of publishing.
