One of the biggest initiatives that Silicon Saxony currently is involved in is the so called Smart Systems Hub, an initiative to create a Digital Innovation Hub within the respective German program of de:Hubs (http://www.de.digital/DIGITAL/Redaktion/EN/Dossier/digital-hub-initiati…) In this context we are in contact with quite some Start-ups, so here is a (not at all exhaustive!) list in alphabetical order - any feedback, corrections or hints are highly appreciated, of course. For the sake of correctness: Please note that all companies are located in Saxony, but not all of them are members of the cluster association Silicon Saxony e.V.

1. Airrays - Started in 2013 as one of already many companies out of the team around Silicon Saxony's mobile communications guru Gerhard Fettweis, Airrays delivers fully adaptive antenna technology for 4G and upcoming 5G radio access networks. It is one of the still few Saxonian companies that were successful in acquiring a funding within the SME instrument of Horizon2020. While being awarded regionally e.g. within futuresax, Airrays was able to attract international awareness during the Mobile World Congress where prototypes of its large scale antenna system were showcased. The company is expected to further boost with the roll-out of the 5G standard.  
2. Cinector - The spin-off from Hochschule Mittweida (which very recently was in the news with their Blockchain Competence Center) develops and licenses tools for rapid media production and easy 3D visualization. Currently, in particular SMEs, researchers and communication staff is supposed to the make use of the first product "Cinector Stage". Not surprisingly, also Cinector is a former winner within futuresax.  
3. Corant - Commercialising the results from a research project of TU Chemnitz, the 2015 founded company develops high temperature (1200-1800 °C) sensor elements. They enable continuous measurement in direct contact with only minimal tolerance (0,5 %) and are therefore a driver for further process innovation in e.g. metal or glass production.  
4. Dence Started in 2013, Dence is active in the field of "Digital Forensic". Beside consulting, they offer software tools to check the authenticity of media and other data - e.g. also in the context of Blockchain, another hype topic in these days. The German readers might remember the famous "Varoufake Video" (controversial video apparently showing Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis raising his middle finger) in Neo Magazin Royale with Jan Böhmermanns and the question whether it was fake or not - Dence was asked to solve this question...  
5. Ferroelectric Memory Company - Being a Spin-off from Namlab, FMC commercializes non-volatile ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) memories based on the disruptive material innovation of ferroelectricity in hafnium oxide (FE-HfO2). This solution allows for embedded nonvolatile memory solutions (eNVM) that are more cost effective compared to existing technologies. The low power, high speed memory can be used in products like microcontrollers (MCU) and thus is an important driver for the Internet of Things (IoT).  
6. Senorics Another winner within futuresax, Senorics is a Spin-off from IAPP of TU Dresden which also was the origin of one of Dresdens most successful start-ups ever, Novaled. , The still quite new company deals with enablement of Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) in a mobile device. Currently, NIR requires costly equipment and usually can be implemented in a laboratory only. Possible applications range from the food sector up to revolutionary solutions for the health industry.  
7. Symate Also a Spin-off from TU Dresden (Institute of Machine Tools and Control Engineering), founded in 2012, the company is a nominee in IHK's (German Chamber of Commerce) campaign "We do digital", which honours best practices of German SMEs with regard to Digital Transformation. The core product of Symate is a software that collects and digitizes technology data automatically, merges and structures parameters, and simultaneously analyzes and visualizes results.
