Travel grant Dresden, Silicon Saxony Days, 15-16/6

Important results from the project

The goals for the trip were set higher than the outcome, but this is only because the participants at the fair were almost exclusively focused on production and production processes and where there was a lack of chip design companies. (They sold the conference as a mix of production and chip design). The result of the trip was increased insight into our customers´ challenges in their production process. We have also made contacts within the Infineons R&D organization to follow up with meetings.

Expected long term effects

At this point, I can´t say that we will have any long-term effects from the trip to Dresden. We have gained an important lead to a potential major customer in Infineon.

Approach and implementation

The project was a two-day trip to Dresden, where the first day was a visit to the xfab factory followed by a mingle in the evening with people in the semiconductor industry. Day two was the conference day. Everything went smoothly and was well organized by Elektrolink and OpenTech.
