Dresden's Tech Hub Status Confirmed as connect Conference 2024 Marks 10-Year Milestone

Dresden, a European hub for microelectronics and communication technology, is set to host the connect conference 2024 on June 18. This exclusive networking event, organized by WEKA Media Publishing, will mark its tenth anniversary in the city.

Dresden's rise as a tech hub began in the 1990s, thanks to significant investments from companies like Infineon and Globalfoundries, along with substantial support from the Saxony state government. The establishment of research networks such as Silicon Saxony has further bolstered the city's tech credentials, with Infineon emerging as a technology leader.

The connect conference, supported by network operators 1&1, Telefónica, and Vodafone, will bring together high-caliber industry experts for a day of insights and networking. Speakers will include representatives from O2 Telefónica, 1&1, Vodafone, and other tech companies. Topics to be covered range from 5G evolution and sustainability to AI, fiber optics integration, and network measurements.

Dresden, the largest European location for microelectronics and communication technology, according to Mayor Dirk Hilbert, is the perfect stage for the connect conference. Mayor Hilbert sees a strong connection between the city and the conference, both driven by a passion for high-tech innovation.
