Exyte expands presence in “Silicon Saxony” with new engineering and project execution hub in Dresden

• Exyte opens new engineering and project execution hub in Dresden to support semiconductor clients
• Currently around 300 employees in high-quality positions across architecture, engineering as well as project and construction management
• Exyte CEO Dr. Wolfgang Büchele: “Strengthening our presence in Silicon Saxony is vital for Exyte’s semiconductor business and highlights our commitment to regional innovation.”
• Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert: “We are pleased to see a global leader like Exyte investing in our region. This move strengthens the local economy and creates future-proof jobs that benefit our community.”

The new office provides space for up to 150 employees – while a large share of Exyte’s workforce continues to work directly on construction sites across Dresden. Located near the city center in Dresden’s Radeberger Vorstadt district, the 2,700-square-meter office spans five floors. The new engineering and project execution hub in the historic “Prussian Quarter,” close to the Elbe River, reflects Exyte’s long-standing presence and continued growth in Saxony. With decades of experience in delivering advanced facilities for global blue-chip clients in the semiconductor and electronics sectors, Exyte has played a key role in shaping the region's development. Proximity to Silicon Saxony allows Exyte to deliver local, state-of-the-art semiconductor projects with greater agility and efficiency. Since the early 1990s, leading international players in the semiconductor industry, with the support of Exyte, have established manufacturing facilities in Dresden. 

Local Investment, global Impact

“Strengthening our presence in Silicon Saxony is a vital step for Exyte’s semiconductor business in Germany and underlines our commitment to regional innovation,” says Dr. Wolfgang Büchele, CEO of Exyte. “Our ‘follow the client’ strategy enables us to deliver highly complex high-tech facilities in leading tech hubs worldwide. We are proud to be creating high-quality engineering jobs in Dresden and plan to continue expanding our presence in the region.” 

Dresden Mayor Dirk Hilbert welcomed Exyte’s decision: “We are pleased to see a global leader like Exyte investing in our region. Their expanded presence in Dresden and Saxony reinforces Silicon Saxony’s growing importance as a hub for innovation and advanced technology. This move strengthens the local economy and creates future-proof jobs that benefit our community. It’s a strong signal of long-term commitment and regional development.” 

A growing innovation cluster

Silicon Saxony, centered around Dresden, is Europe’s largest microelectronics cluster and a cornerstone of the continent’s digital future. In 2024, the microelectronics and electrical engineering sector contributed over 13% to Saxony’s total industrial turnover – exceeding €10 billion. The region is home to more than 3,600 companies employing around 81,000 professionals in the ICT and microelectronics sectors. With over €50 billion in public and private investments either planned or underway, Silicon Saxony is projected to generate more than 24,000 new jobs by 2030, reinforcing its role at the heart of Europe’s semiconductor strategy and supporting the continent’s digital and green transformation.
