The semiconductor and software industry in Saxony is poised for growth. According to the industry association Silicon Saxony, the sector has created 1,500 new jobs within a year. As of September 30, 2025, the number of employees had risen to around 82,500 (previous year: 81,000). That is just under two percent more than a year earlier.
Growth is evenly distributed between semiconductors and software
Growth is distributed almost evenly between the semiconductor industry and the software sector. “This trend shows that the investments made in recent years are increasingly taking effect. While many sectors continue to suffer from the weak economy, the high-tech industry in Saxony continues to grow and create high-quality jobs,” emphasized Frank Schönefeld, Chairman of the Executive Board of Silicon Saxony.
