The semiconductor industry in the north of Dresden will develop dynamically over the next few years and boost both the industrial and service sectors in the Dresden region. This is not only due to the current creation of several thousand new jobs in the semiconductor industry, but also to the expected establishment of further companies as suppliers and service providers. Further growth of the companies already located in the north of Dresden will also drive this development even further.

In order to support these positive developments, the cities and municipalities of the Dresden region, along with other stakeholders, are called upon to support and promote the expected economic and demographic development through suitable measures.

To this end, it is necessary to determine to what extent and at what stage of development industrial and commercial sites larger than 5 hectares are already available in the cities and municipalities of the Dresden region for development in the near future and which sites can be developed in the medium and long term.

For the purposes of this analysis, the study area is to be roughly limited to the Saxon part of the upper-central area of the state capital of Dresden, which is up to 60 minutes away by car.

From this, a study area with the state capital Dresden and the surrounding 96 towns and municipalities in the four districts of Bautzen, Meißen, Central Saxony and Saxon Switzerland/Eastern Ore Mountains can be roughly defined as the Dresden region.

The analysis then covers the following areas in the Dresden region from five hectares in size:

• Category 1: Industrial and commercial building sites in legally valid development plans with free capacity over five hectares
• Category 2: Industrial and commercial building sites from development plans currently being drawn up with free capacity over five hectares
• Category 3: Industrial and commercial building sites over five hectares in legally valid land use plans or those currently being drawn up
• Category 4: Building sites currently under investigation or potentially possible building sites over five hectares for industry and / or commerce of particular importance from the perspective of the cities and municipalities (prospective sites)

The first results of the analysis are expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.
