The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the SAPHIR innovation concept coordinated by TRIDELTA CAMPUS HERMSDORF e.V. with EUR 12,7 million. Including the 19 project members' own contribution, the total financial volume amounts to EUR 17,8 million. The funding will be used for research and development by the partners to advance the development of materials as well as products and applications in technical ceramics. The funding plays a significant role in the structural development of Hermsdorf and the entire East Thuringian region. 53 alliances throughout Germany applied for the "RUBIN - Regional Entrepreneurial Alliances for Innovation" funding program, which is intended to strengthen the competitiveness of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in particular. The entrepreneurial alliance SAPHIR participated in the call to represent and market the interests of the predominantly SMEs technology companies from the fields of advanced ceramics and electronics. 14 members from the TRIDELTA CAMPUS HERMSDORF, together with another five regional partners, want to develop the Hermsdorf region into the leading center for advanced ceramics in Europe. The 19 SAPHIR partners are 17 companies (including three associated partners) and two research institutions, Fraunhofer IKTS and Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena.
