Infineon Technologies' ambitious expansion of its Dresden chip manufacturing site is progressing swiftly, following the recent confirmation of federal funding on May 8, 2025. The construction of the cutting-edge "Smart Power Fab" is on schedule, indicating the project's smooth momentum.
The state-of-the-art facility forms an essential part of Infineon's broader plans, which involve an investment of €5 billion and the creation of approximately 3,000 jobs in Dresden. This project receives support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and European Union's Chips Act, involving around €1 billion in subsidies.
The new facility, set to begin operation next year, will cater to soaring customer demand in crucial sectors such as renewable energy, data centers, and e-mobility. Power semiconductors produced at the factory will improve energy efficiency, contribute to sustainable energy systems, enhance data center performance, and support the transition to cleaner transportation.
Infineon's expansion aligns with Germany's and Europe's commitment to semiconductor independence and technological leadership. The investment also reinforces the European Chips Act, aimed at increasing semiconductor manufacturing capacity within the continent. Infineon's focus on smart power technologies reflects the growing demand for energy-efficient electronics and sustainable technologies worldwide.
Remarkably, the factory's construction is on track, with up to 1,000 new high-value jobs expected to be generated, fostering local growth and employment opportunities in Dresden. This expansion marks a significant boost to the semiconductor industry, reflecting Infineon's strategic commitment to innovation and sustainability.
