Dresden, 05.09.2023: In a time when news is often dominated by negativity, there are stories that remind us that persistence, vision and community spirit can move mountains. One such story is that of "Saxony Today," a project that has triumphed against all odds.
3.5 years ago, in a modest office in Saxony, the journey of "Saxony Today" began. A small team, led by Thomas Wolf, asked themselves a simple question: how can we present Saxony in a more positive light and at the same time facilitate the integration of people living here? The answer was clear: through language and information.
The vision was to inform the world that Saxony has far more to offer than the often-cited negative headlines. It was about telling the real stories of Saxony - of inspiring people, successful businesses and cultural achievements.
In the initial phase of the project, they held talks with renowned institutions such as GlobalFoundries, Silicon Saxony e.V. and various Saxon ministries. These talks, combined with a crowdfunding campaign on Startnext, gave the team hope and motivation. But then came the year 2020 and with it the Corona pandemic, which threw the plans into disarray.
