"Silicon Saxony is a registered industry association of nearly 300 companies in the microelectronics and related sectors in Saxony, Germany, with around 40,000 employees. Many, but not all, of those firms are situated in the north of Dresden. [...]

[T]he area and the union — in many aspects — represent the only meaningful European center of microelectronics.", excerpt from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony
