The trade fair organisers consider the renewed CEBIT a business festival for innovation and digitalisation. This is also what exhibitors from the Dresden Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) are doing. In the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State governments – funded by the DFG with 34 million euro – the scientists, headed by Prof. Gerhard Fettweis, coordinator of the Cluster of Excellence and holder of the Vodafone Chair for Mobile Communications Systems, are researching new technologies for the electronic information processing of the future. The visionaries from Dresden are pushing the limits of what is feasible and imaginable, they completely redesign the future of electronics and initiate revolutionary new applications such as electronics that do not require boot time, that are capable of THz imaging, and that support complex biosensor technology. The necessary breakthroughs in the fundamentals of electronics extend far beyond the roadmaps predicted by the industry. In order to achieve its goals, cfaed combines the scientific thirst for knowledge with the innovative power of engineering sciences, and addresses all levels of electronics: materials, components, circuits, and systems.

The Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH), headed by Prof. Wolfgang Nagel, is a competence centre for parallel computing, software tools and big data, as well as a high-performance computing centre of the Free State of Saxony. Supporting different disciplines in the optimisation of HPC applications and developing new methodological approaches for solving applied-science research questions are at the focus of scientific applications. In high-performance computing, the ZIH addresses the topics of scalability and energy efficiency, as well as the challenges in the areas of big data and machine learning, in addition to the optimisation of the attainable computing speed.
