Future of the semiconductor industry: TSMC is investing in Dresden

investments in the future of the region

The district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains is at a turning point after the semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) has announced a significant investment in Dresden. This development falls together with the production expansion of Infineon, which makes the region an important location in the semiconductor industry.

growth through cooperation

To coordinate the settlement and the company, TSMC, Bosch and Infineon founded the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC). This merger not only enables efficient production, but also ensures the creation of around 2,000 new jobs directly at TSMC. In addition, the Silicon Saxony industry association expects that the settlement of suppliers and service providers will create a total of around 27,000 additional positions in the chip industry and adjacent areas.

regional advantages and challenges

The decision for Dresden has an impact on the surrounding municipalities. District Administrator Michael Geisler emphasizes that the district could benefit from the settlement, in particular through the development of existing industrial areas. It is also expected that infrastructure projects and the creation of living space will be urgently needed for the newly added specialists. These аспекты must be approached carefully in order to be able to fully exploit the positive effects of the investment.

cooperation for sustainable development

To meet these challenges, a study is currently being drawn up by the Dresden adventure region. This informal network, consisting of 21 cities and municipalities, analyzes the region's residential construction and commercial space. The focus is on intensifying the regional cooperation between Dresden and the surrounding area, which is an advantage for everyone involved.

In addition, the formation of a temporary workstab plans to support the results of the studies and planned measures. In addition to the 21 municipalities, this work rod also includes the districts of Bautzen, Meißen and Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains.

Financial support to promote development

For the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains, it is of central importance to actively support the municipalities in planning and implementing these measures. It is therefore being considered to provide financial support for the preparation of the study, subject to a decision by the district council.

The great settlement in the north of Dresden is not only a profit for the city itself, but also offers numerous opportunities for the entire Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains. The coming months will be crucial to create the necessary structures and to promote sustainable development.
