Saxony Startup Monitor 2025 shows dynamic development of the start-up scene
The Saxony Startup Monitor published at the beginning of April 2025 shows how dynamically the start-up landscape in the state is developing. There are currently 698 active startups that have raised over one billion euros in investment since 2020.

The technological strength is particularly noteworthy: 14 per cent of start-ups are active in the DeepTech sector, while 68 per cent focus on B2B business models. However, international networking still needs to be expanded. Only 21 per cent of employees come from abroad and only 24 per cent of founders rate access to capital positively. Dirk Panter, Saxony's Minister of State for Economic Affairs, Labour, Energy and Climate Protection, sees great potential in technology-oriented start-ups and emphasises the importance of international specialists. For Nadine Schmieder-Galfe, CFO of the biotech company Zellmechanik Dresden, founding is much more than entrepreneurship. Founding a company is a great opportunity to put research findings into practice and thus open up completely new markets. You have the chance to work together with many clever, often international companies and, if successful, to improve people's lives. It is important to simply do it - even if a start-up involves risks, it is worth it.
