The energy cluster in saxony
Initiation and coordination of pilot and funded projects
ENERGY SAXONY is an energy platform both powerful and strong in growth, thus succeeding to address extensive European, German and Saxon funding activities and set up innovative projects for the installation of demonstration units and pilot plants. A key service is the regular screening of funding programs, aiming to facilitate access to financial assistance. Currently funded projects:
WindNODE (www.windnode.de)
Showcase for intelligent energy supply integrating a growing share of renewables
Innovation Cluster HZwo (www.hzwo.eu)
Saxon innovation cluster for fuel cells and hydrogen technologies
Network of Expertise Digitalisation / Internationalisation
Connecting energy and data networks and development of foreign markets
ENERGY SAXONY members have the option to present their products and innovative business modells to a wide audience under the same umbrella at joint trade fair booths. This is a most efficient way to acquire new clients and cooperation partners. Our members profit from a low individual effort regarding trade fair preparations, as the cluster management will take on the organization of the trade fair appearance and accompanying PR measures.
Through a series of different event formats, we offer our members platforms for presententing their research and business activities, for networking and setting up projects. We organise conferences, workshops, exhibitions as well as information and transfer events and find them options to give presentations or participate in delegation visits of other providers. Our annual confernce, the ENERGY SAXONY SUMMIT, has become an established networking event for the Saxon energy industry and combines keynotes from industry, science and politics, forward-thinking innovation forums as well as a technology exhibition. With the ENERGY SAXONY #ENERGIETalk we offer a regular digital event to inform about and discuss solutions, products, research results as well as industry-relevant issues. The B2B ENERGIE MatchMaking format enables targeted networking, professional exchange or individual consulting on specific technology/service offerings.
With its working groups, ENERGY SAXONY offers its members the possibility to visit production sites in Saxony, to get to know new technologies and to establish business contacts. Technology suppliers, customers and researchers identify and work together on future-oriented project ideas in the following innovation areas:
Current dates for working group meetings are displayed on the start page of our website under the section 'events'. If you wish to participate in one of these activities or come up with a new topic to be discussed with other experts, please contact us.
The large variety of Saxon competencies for the realisation of innovative solutions for the new energy system implies different approaches and views of the individual players. This leads to questions about the conrete requirements for future products and services as well as to the need for coordination and harmonization of the varied interests represented by technology suppliers, end users and research institutes. In the context of numerous cluster activities, such as workshops, technical exhibitions, working group meetings etc. ENERGY SAXONY moderates a public discourse on recent trends and developments. This dialogue also involves political decision-makers and raises their awareness for the requirements of the Saxon research and industry players.
Another key responsibility of the Cluster Management is the proactive dissemination and promotion of the approaches, projects, products and services developed by the cluster members in regional and supraregional media. Besides the regular publication of press releases on the latest developments and activities of the network players, ENERGY SAXONY organises press coverage and support from political representatives when it comes to ceremonial initiations of pilot plants or the start of demonstration projects.
ENERGY SAXONY aims to increase the visibility of the expertise, products and services of Saxon companies and research institutes on a national and international level and thus to strengthen Saxony’s role as a pioneering and competitive business location for the energy sector. The following marketing and PR activities are carried out for this purpose:
