Map Competence Atlas: Electromobility in Saxony Foreword

Electromobility is one of the most important future ﬁelds of transport. The biggest challenges electromobility faces are how to connect the existing structures and technologies intelligently, and how to develop innovative ideas and concepts, and put them into practice. In Saxony, almost the entire electromobility value chain is represented: from technology companies in the electrochemistry, power electronics and software development industries to premium carmakers and an innovative network of automotive suppliers and global energy suppliers. The commitment of Saxon companies, research institutions and the public administration to electromobility is undiminished. And increasing numbers of people are interested in electromobility – in businesses and research, but also private consumers. The Electromobility Competence Atlas is now in its fourth edition – and it is more wide-ranging and diverse than ever before. The main driver for positive economic developments in the Free State is the manufacturing industry, in particular the automotive industry, which has traditionally been strong in Saxony. A dynamic research landscape, a powerful economy and transport infrastructure as well as excellent educational and training opportunities provide an outstanding framework in the Free State for bright minds and creative ideas – and for the future issue of electromobility. The Competence Atlas provides an overview of the existing network of companies and competences in electromobility. Get inspired and become an active member of this vital network.

Martin Dulig Saxon State Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport Foreword

Electromobility is a pioneering future technology that has signifi cant environmental advantages compared to combustion-based mobility. The transport sector is currently almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, which are largely imported. These resources are dwindling, and con- straints on mobility and price increases seem inevitable in the foreseeable future. Electromobility powered by electricity from renewable energy sources is a key element in meeting the special requirements of climate-neutral, resource-effi cient mobility. In Saxony, the economy, research, politics, education and the public work together in perfect tandem. As a consequence, the Free State is already well positioned to make an outstanding contribution towards establishing electromobility. The Sächsische Energieagentur – SAENA GmbH has set itself the task of conserving existing resources to ensure the basis for existence for future generations. As a competence centre for effi cient mobility of the Free State of Saxony in the fi elds of electromobility and intelligent transport systems, SAENA is your fi rst point of contact on issues relating to future mobility. The Competence Atlas: Electromobility in Saxony is the result of years of networking by the main Saxon competence centres in this fi eld. It presents both experienced market actors and young enterprises. These organisations will secure Saxony’s future in electromobility. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to our network soon.
