  2. State of Saxony Leipzig Dresden Chemnitz • Capital: Dresden • Strong industry focus with traditional markets in Middle and Eastern Europe • Inhabitants: 4, 321, 437 • Size: 18, 414 km² Source: 01.01.2004 Statist. Landesamt Sachsen

  3. The Origin of Machine Building in Germany Distribution of Factories in 1846 Weltausstellung Paris 1867, Stand der Firma Zimmermann “... examples for german diligence, rare work and in the past not known perfectibility and expansion in the machine building branch“

  4. Today‘s Machine Tool Industry in the State of SaxonyRepresented by 450 SMEs with a total of 34,000 employees printing machinery machine tools textile machinery

  5. EU Structural Funds in Saxony (2000 – 2006) In combination with the required co-financing through governmental and private sources a total investment fund of almost 10 billion Euro is available. 0,7 1,1 3,3 • Expected results: • GDP growth of 2 % • employment rate 1 % higher than without • availability of the funds bn €

  6. ERDFs in Saxony (2000 – 2006) Focus 1: Promoting competitiveness of small and medium sized enterprises Focus 2: Infrastructure Focus 3: Protection and improvement of the environment Focus 4: Technical assistance More than 25 % of the ERDFs support the regions and cities of Chemnitz, Dresden and Leipzig

  7. To promote the development of new products and processes by funding 750 R&Dprojects of single companies or industry-oriented research centers with a total of 262 million EUR To promote the development of new products and processes by funding 1650 R&Dprojects of consortia between industry (primarily SMEs) and industry-oriented research centers with a total of 313 million EUR To promote technology transfer by funding 340 projects of technology transfer centers, incubators, technology demonstration centers etc. with a total of 43 million EUR To assist SMEs in participating in EU programs (140 projects, 3.5 million EUR) To assist SMEs in accessing new markets (3300 projects, 12.5 million EUR) ERDFs in Saxony (2000 – 2006)Selected Goals within Focus 1

  8. To fund and support infrastructure and applied research projects at universities and research institutes with the goal to establish an R&D infrastructure at worldclass level institutional priority is given to the set-up and growth of Fraunhofer Institutes technology priorities are given to new materials, microelectronics, production technology, information technology and traffic systems ERDFs in Saxony (2000 – 2006)Selected Goal within Focus 2

Example 3 for IWU’s regional R & D platforms Strategic Alliance of Machine Tool and Equipment Manufacturers„VEMAS „ VEMAS promotes innovation and initiates market-driven technology or business networks Consultants R & D Networks Associations Suppliers Service Providers Machine Builders Plant Builders

  17. Structural funds had and will continue to have significant impact on driving economic growth in the State of Saxony through innovation, qualification and entrepreneurship. Innovation, science, research and education will continue to set the focus of the new funding period from 2007 – 2013 The plan for further expanding the R & D infrastructure calls again for a concentration on Fraunhofer Institutes as well as competence and technology centers at universities and educational academies. Applied R&D projects will focus on energy technology, micro- and nanoelectronics, biotechnology and materials Improvement of technology transfer will play a major role in future funding. Infrastructure related ERDFs will for the first time be used to improve IT services. Summary and Outlook
