The German-Israeli SME Day will be held for the first time in Chemnitz from June 7 to 9, 2022. Israel shares with Germany an innovative spirit of development, a broad corporate landscape and good funding opportunities. This event with companies from both countries is intended to show what potential lies in technological progress. Panels on mechanical and plant engineering, alternative drives and autonomous driving, and age tech will be complemented by an exchange on the start-up scene. These topics will be discussed with representatives from politics, business and research - including from Chemnitz University of Technology - at the Carlowitz Congress Center Chemnitz. Best practice examples and B2B meetings will follow.
