Marcus Wilsdorf, was a guest at the Stadt Annaberg-Buchholz education center with Daily Meyer and Felicia Kollinger-Walter.

With ASG - Anerkannte Schulgesellschaft Sachsen mbH, ASG founder and Managing Director Elmar Süß, a native of the Ore Mountains, has created an educational group that also has an impact in other German states. ASG has been active at its headquarters in Annaberg-Buchholz for around 30 years. ASG also operates other facilities in Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Brandenburg, such as daycare centers, general education schools, vocational schools and schools for continuing vocational training. The Babelsberg Film High School in Potsdam is also a private alternative school run by the ASG. Respect and many thanks for the wonderful hospitality on site.

Other ASG employees took part in getting to know each other and exchanging experiences in order to provide a comprehensive insight into the range of work:
Xuli Chen - Authorized Signatory/International Department; Le Liu - Responsible for Chinese trainees/ Residence Manager, Cathleen Dietzsch - Secretary/PR International; Emilia Seidel- PR International/ Dual Training and Igor Zimmermann - Training Officer.

We look forward to our future cooperation and will support the ASG with excursions and other accompanying educational offers. We are also very happy to offer international students at FDTech many different opportunities to gain initial practical experience in the technical and administrative fields. Whether internship, apprenticeship or dual study program, we welcome young people from all cultural backgrounds.
ASG operates a language center at the Annaberg site. There is a separate dormitory to accommodate trainees and participants in qualification and retraining measures. Several dozen Chinese pupils are currently attending a preparatory year at ASG to learn German at level C1. These students also live in the Annaberg dormitory. We were very impressed by the diligence and discipline of the young Chinese. Within just one year, they will learn to use the German language with confidence.

We wish them every success.

When the Chimney Smokes – An Inspiring Evening at Innovation Night 2025

“The best moments are those when the chimney smokes.” With these words, we were warmly welcomed to Innovation Night 2025 – held in the spectacular halls of die fabrik Chemnitz. But it wasn't just the glowing pink smoke that made the evening unforgettable. From the moment Tijen Onaran took the stage with her powerful keynote on courage, the event set the tone for an evening full of inspiration and future-driven ideas. Topics like artificial intelligence in small and medium-sized enterprises, cybersecurity, and blockchain innovations gave the audience valuable insights into how deeply the future is already rooted in our region. Particularly striking were the comparisons between German and Silicon Valley business cultures – especially regarding investment strategies and the speed of decision-making. These conversations highlighted how important it is to rethink traditional approaches if we want to keep pace with global innovation. One of the evening’s highlights was the presentation of fully digital investment models, such as Tokenize.it, showcasing how digital innovation is reshaping the funding landscape and making capital more accessible than ever. Together with the focus on cybersecurity and blockchain, it became clear: technology is not just a driver of change – it is the engine powering transformation across industries. As a tech company, we believe that the future takes shape where bold ideas meet bold people. Innovation Night proved just that. With sharp content, inspiring speakers, and an outstanding atmosphere, the event offered exactly what its name promises: true innovation. A heartfelt thank you to die fabrik for organizing such a forward-thinking evening – and to Malte Ziegenhagen, Frank Theeg, Frank Steinert, and Gerd Göbelbecker, whose vision brought Innovation Night to life. We’re already looking forward to the next spark of inspiration.
