Infineon, Bosch & Globalfoundries: Lack of engineers at chip manufacturers

Dusseldorf, Munich Germany needs chip experts – and not just since Intel has been looking for thousands of skilled workers for its large factory in Magdeburg. The Silicon Saxony industry association estimates that around 100,000 people will be needed in the microelectronics and communications sectors in Saxony alone in 2030 – 30,000 more than today. At the same time, around 5,000 industry specialists will retire by then.
