Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem

As the year comes to an end, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us and been part of this incredible journey. One of the highlights of this year was undoubtedly the Siemens RIE Erlangen-Nuremberg Conference: "Circularity Enabled by Technology", held on November 29th at ZOLLHOF. This event brought together leading experts and innovators to explore groundbreaking solutions for the future of the circular economy. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this conference such a success! If you missed the event or would like to relive the highlights, the livestream is now available: https://lnkd.in/dXg5yGep Wishing you all a joyful holiday season, a Merry Christmas, and an inspiring start to the New Year! 🎄✨ 📸 Credits: Stefan Gröschner, Florian Hager #SiemensRIEConference2024 #SiemensRIE #SiemensRIEErlangenNuremberg

🚀 At Siemens, collaboration is the foundation of innovation. Meet Inga from the Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem (RIE), who recently moved to the Bay Area to strengthen the global network of Siemens RIE. Along with her dedicated colleagues, Inga connects with universities, research institutions, startups, and ecosystem partners to address today's challenges using future technologies to transform everyday life. There are people behind the organization, and Inga is one of the inspiring individuals driving our mission forward. In this video, originally posted on the #SiemensCareers Instagram Channel, Inga shares how her role allows her to handle diverse tasks, connect with inspiring people, and make a real impact. Her advice to all: Network, explore, and find your passion. 🌐 Watch the video to learn more about Inga's journey and the amazing work happening at Siemens RIE. #Innovation #Collaboration #SiemensRIE #Research #Networking #Inspiration #BayArea

In the latest The National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) report our team was pleased to be able to share some of the activities we're undertaking in the UK to widen participation in engineering from beyond the traditional pools of talent. We're breaking down barriers to opportunities and encouraging participation from oft-neglected parts of society - typically those affected by socio-economic restrictions, gender and neurodiversity. It's not a "one size fits all" approach - we'll still use CVs for many parts of the business for example, but by doing things differently this exposes us to more candidates with excellent potential and, we hope, encourages and supports more people who could not have previously considered a career in engineering to take the next steps. Our thanks to our excellent UK-based early-talent colleagues who have made this happen. The Siemens section is on Pages 64 & 65. https://lnkd.in/dyq932_6

I have a confession to make. I’m a history graduate. There - I said it. I have absolutely no idea how I’ve ended up doing what I do, but I’m here now so there you are. On my degree one of my modules was (something like) “The Rise of Technology” - so the (first) Industrial Revolution, the emergence of new technologies, the rapid rise of factories and urbanisation and the acceleration of scientific curiosity in a predominantly religious era. All of this came flooding back today when I visited the AMRC in Sheffield and saw 200+ year old concepts being used to address 21st challenges - in this case 3D weaving of carbon fibre for use in (for example) the aerospace and automotive sectors, using (admittedly extremely modern!) Jaquard loom type machinery. For reference, in the early 1800s Jaquard invented a new method of weaving complex patterns into textiles by introducing a punch card system which replaced the (normally a) small child sitting atop the loom, reduced the costs of manufacturing and increased production significantly. In addition it can be claimed that this technology gave rise to the birth of modern computer programming through its binary process (the punch cards = ‘hole’ or ‘no hole’). Indeed, when Babbage introduced his ideas for the Analytical Engine, Ada Lovelace remarked, “The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves”. This article from the Science & Industry Museum explains it really well: https://lnkd.in/eS82Vdac So why is this relevant? I think it’s incredible to think that technologies that were invented over 200 years ago are still playing a part in today’s scientific landscape and that they’ve been able to, unwittingly, lead us into new technological areas as well. Who knows where the advanced scientific research that my colleagues and our global Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem partners are working on today will end up a few hundred years from now?

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐂𝐎! We are thrilled to announce that RIIICO has been named Siemens #InventorsOfTheYear 2024, an award proudly handed over by Peter Koerte! 🚀 This historic #OpenInnovation award (the first ever for a startup) highlights how collaboration between industry, research, and entrepreneurship ecosystems leads to success. Jan accepted the award on behalf of the team. He and co-founders Felix and Patrick, former RWTH Aachen University students, one of Siemens’ partner universities. They developed their business idea as students and benefited from the expertise and support of the Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem Aachen Arc and RWTH Innovation, which opened doors for this incredible journey. They founded RIIICO in 2021 and have grown to 24 employees from eight countries. RIIICO AI invention supports manufacturers in transforming their existing factory shop floors. The invention enables users to get a comprehensive, engineer-friendly 3D model of their factory and each object it contains. Welcome to the #IndustrialMetaverse. Thank you, RIIICO, for your innovation and trust. Let's continue building something great together in the ecosystem!

Last week´s Siemens RIE Erlangen-Nuremberg Conference explored the important topic of circularity through university, industrial, startup, and educational perspectives. ♻️ Thank you to everyone involved for providing technical insights, enabling valuable personal encounters, and paving the way for future collaboration in the #SiemensRIE Erlangen-Nuremberg and beyond!

Unsere Siemens-Niederlassung #Aachen ist dem #Klimastadtvertrag als Premium-Partner beigetreten. 🌍📝 Ein Klimastadtvertrag soll als gesamtstädtischer Plan für den Weg zur #Klimaneutralität bis 2030 dienen. Der Aachener Entwurf wurde im Frühjahr bei der Europäischen Kommission in Brüssel eingereicht und letzten Monat mit dem EU Mission Label als zuverlässiger Fahrplan zur Klimaneutralität ausgezeichnet. 📸: Im November fand die erste Sitzung des Kuratoriums „Aachener Klimastadtvertrag“ statt. Die Oberbürgermeisterin Sibylle Keupen überreichte die Urkunde über die Partnerschaft an Holger Seulen, der stellvertretend für die Siemens Niederlassung Aachen am Kuratorium teilnahm.

Our Siemens RIE Bay Area partners, including University of California, Berkeley, possess leading expertise in digital technologies such as AI, Robotics, Extended Reality, Industrial Cyberphysical Systems, Energy Systems and Semiconductors. We now have our Siemens colleague Inga Becker based in the Bay Area dedicated to orchestrating the collaboration within this fantastic ecosystem. 🌉  #SiemensRIEBayArea
