For example, courses covering the entire spectrum of microelectronics are offered at the Dresden University ofTechnology, Fraunhofer Institutes of Microelectronic Circuits and Systems. Integrated Circuits, Materials and Radiation Engineering as well as Electron Radiation and Plasma Engineering ensure research close to business and research cooperations with business. Dresden will become the home of the new Centre for Nanoelectronic Technology (CNT) under a public-private partnership of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the state of Saxony, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Infineon. Today, the City is developing more and more into a modern biotechnology location.
