With over 1.000 participants and more than 30 % international guests, Silicon Saxony Days is one of the most important international high-tech and networking events in Europe. It offers cross-industry insights into technologies and solutions in the areas of hardware, software and connectivity. In addition to knowledge and technology transfer, the goal of this networking event is the open exchange between developers, producers and users of information and communication technologies (ICT).

We will have a booth at this fantastic event, with a direct view of the runway at Dresden Airport.
Meet us at booth S17 on level 3.

Review of the event | April 2, 2026

Great to be part of the GSI/FAIR Roadshow – thank you for the opportunity and the excellent discussions. We particularly appreciated the strong interest in our R&D portfolio, including ion sources, ion optics, ion diagnostics, and complete ion irradiation systems. The exchange with the GSI teams provided valuable insights and reinforces our commitment to developing compact, high-performance solutions for advanced ion beam applications. Looking forward to continuing the collaboration.

The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt is a world-class facility dedicated to high-tech physics research. At its core, GSI operates a powerful particle accelerator system that allows scientists to collide heavy ions with targets or each other. These experiments help researchers explore the fundamental building blocks of the universe, the synthesis of superheavy elements, and the conditions of matter shortly after the Big Bang.

Beyond basic research, GSI is a pioneer in applied science, most notably for developing carbon ion therapy, a highly precise cancer treatment. Currently, they are constructing FAIR, one of the largest international research projects, to further investigate nuclear astrophysics and atomic physics.

To strengthen collaboration between industry and academia, their Technology Transfer Office regularly organizes a roadshow on the GSI campus. On Wednesday, March 18, together with other companies in the industry, our General Manager Mike Schmidt will be there with a table top to answer questions from employees from FAIR (Accelerator Center) and GSI about our Ion Beam Technology.

From 10 to 12 March, Paris hosted the JEC, the leading international exhibition for composite materials. We were pleased to be joined by our cooperation partner MIKROMAT GmbH at the joint booth of the Wirtschaftsförderung Sachsen GmbH.
During his tour of the joint booth, Dirk Panter, the Saxon State Minister for Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy, and Climate Protection, also spent a some minutes talking to us about Dresden and Pirna as technology hubs, pictured with Mike Schmidt, General Manager of D.I.S on the left and Thomas Warnatsch, managing partner at Mikromat on the right (picture in the middle).

JEC World in Paris is the world’s leading trade fair for composites and their applications. As a global industry meeting place, it covers the entire value chain – from raw material extraction to the end product.

Over 1,300 exhibitors from more than 100 countries will be presenting their products and services, including industry giants such as Airbus and Dassault, as well as numerous start-ups, research institutes, and specialized SMEs. State-of-the-art fibers (carbon, glass, natural fibers), resins, innovative thermoplastics, and sophisticated manufacturing machines will be on display. There will be a special focus on 3D printing, automation solutions, and sustainable recycling technologies for lightweight components.

The trade fair is aimed at engineers, designers, purchasers, and decision-makers from key industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy (wind power), and sports and leisure. It is the central network for anyone looking for lighter, stronger, and more sustainable material solutions.

We will be there next week at a common booth together with our partner Mikromat from Dresden.
Visit our booth #5D97 and let´s talk about high-precision mechanical processing and analysis and modification of materials.

Review of the event | March 17, 2026

On three of the six days of the Spring Meeting in Dresden, an industrial exhibition was held in parallel with the conference. The DPG conference is an event that attracts both early-career researchers and experienced decision-makers alike. A hallmark of this conference is its dynamic mix of doctoral students, postdocs, and leading practitioners such as professors and group leaders. This gathering creates a dynamic atmosphere where top researchers and strategists meet to discuss groundbreaking topics across the entire field of solid-state physics.

The exhibition was very well attended by conference participants. At our booth, we were able to answer many questions from interested participants – and we’re sure that some of them will keep our expertise in ion beams in mind for their future research projects.

The Spring Meetings of the German Physical Society (DPG) are central meeting places for physicists from various disciplines. They offer lectures, poster presentations, and discussion forums on current issues in research, teaching, and science policy.

The conference programme is already available. Invited speakers from institutes and universities around the world will provide an overview of their work during the conference week. The symposia of the conference are focused on interdisciplinary topics. In this edition of the Spring Meeting, France will be represented as the guest country by the Société Française de Physique (SFP).

The highly scientific program is rounded off by the presentation of the Gaede Prize and the Dissertation Prize, as well as various social events, a career market and the Exhibition of Scientific Instruments and Literature.

We will be present there with an exhibition booth. Come by and let us talk about our core competency – the ion beam technology. The exhibition will be open from 10 to 12 of March. We are looking forward to meet you in Dresden!

Our participation in research projects

D.I.S Germany GmbH, Pirna and Mikromat GmbH, Dresden are project partners of the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials and Beam Technology IWS in the AM-SHIELD project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) via the VDI Technology Center (VDI-TZ). Together with other partners, forward-looking material structures for the hybrid production of radiation resistant components in continuous operation are being developed.

The 25th International Workshop on Inelastic Ion-Solid Interactions (IISC-25) took place at Steinschaler Dörfl in Frankenfels, Austria, from September 14-19, 2025. This event is organized by the group of Prof. Richard Wilhelm of the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Wien. In terms of content, this conference deals with fundamental aspects of the inelastic interaction of particles with surfaces, for example with the following topics:

• Charge exchange between particles and surfaces
• Scattering of atoms, ions, molecules and clusters
• Cluster/molecular and highly charged ion beams

For many years, we have enjoyed a close working relationship to this group of scientists. They work with our technology as part of their research, and we benefit from their work by being able to adapt and improve our product. That’s why we decided to support this event as a sponsor this year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Prof. Wilhelm and his team for their cooperation and look forward to further joint projects.

Last Saturday, we hosted a recruiting event at our company site in Pirna. Our advertising campaign in the run-up to the event was a resounding success. We attracted a large number of visitors from the surrounding area, both to take a look behind the scenes and to apply for a job with us. In a grand total of seven tours, our guides showed the flow of materials from the warehouse to production, the measuring room, cleaning and shipping, as well as our development area. After the tours, we had in-depth conversations with our visitors, who asked many interesting questions about our company. With strong winds and threatening dark clouds, we shortened our visitors‘ waiting time with hot coffee and ice cream from the local bakery Konditorei Schreiber.

We are delighted that we can now review the surprisingly large number of registered job seekers and invite them to further interviews. We would like to thank all visitors who are interested in the development of our company, all supporters and of course the whole D.I.S team for their amazing teamwork. Well done!
