Heinz Kundert, President of SEMI Europe, the organizer of the largest trade fair of the European semiconductor industry, has announced that Saxony“s Minister-President Stanislaw Tillich has assumed patronage of the event. On 11 October, when he visits the SEMICON Europa in Dresden as a patron, Stanislaw Tillich will present the capabilities and power of Saxony and the entire European semiconductor industry. With globally renowned companies such as Infineon and Globalfoundries, the region around Dresden belongs to the leading high-tech centres in Europe. Microelectronics companies, microsystems engineering, nano- and optotechnologies as well as customers and several research and development companies have set up their businesses in Silicon Saxony. Semiconductors can be found in nearly all areas of modern life. Without semiconductor technology, we would have no cellphones, no state-of-the-art cars (e-mobility), no efficient power generation via alternative energies and no industrial manufacturing. All intelligent and efficient systems in our daily life and industry are based on this technology. During the same period, the 7th Global Plastic Electronics Conference will take place, where leading companies from all over the world will present their latest achievements in the field of organic and printed electronics and photovoltaics as well as innovative displays and lighting. 
 With more than 350 exhibitors from 20 countries, SEMICON Europa is taking place from 11-14 October 2011 in Dresden.
