Silicon Saxony Days: three formats combined in one event: conference, trade fair & networking.

Silicon Saxony Days is the place to be if you want to learn a great deal about the latest developments in the high-tech sector in a short space of time, while also expanding your network.

Are you active in semiconductors, chip technology or high-tech and want to boost your international network in one go? Then join MKB Trade Office from 15 to 17 June 2026 at Silicon Saxony Days in Dresden: three days of conferences, trade fairs and intensive networking in the heart of Europe’s most important microelectronics region. You will meet managing directors, researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs from all over the world, gain access to the conference, matchmaking and the Technology & Talent Islands, and take part in an exclusive company visit, while we organise the programme and access for you.

On three floors of Terminal 1 at Dresden International Airport, you will find a large main stage, spacious exhibition floors and various lounge rooms where you can easily strike up conversations with other professionals. The main stage offers powerful keynotes and panel discussions that showcase the entire spectrum of the network, while the nine thematic “gates” delve deeper into specific technologies.

In these gates, you will gain concrete insights into challenges, use cases, lessons learned, best practices and new business models in short pitches and talks – all in a Silent Disco setting, so you can follow exactly what is relevant to you. The main day is Tuesday, supplemented by Monday (focus on future clusters, research and development) and Wednesday (focus on industry and start-ups). In addition, there is a special B2B matchmaking programme that connects you with the right partners for new, fruitful collaborations.
