One of the world’s largest producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies, Siemens is a leading supplier of systems for power generation and transmission as well as medical diagnosis. In infrastructure and industry solutions the company plays a pioneering role. As of 30 September 2015, we had around 348,000 employees in more than 200 countries. In fiscal 2015, we generated revenues of €75.6 billion Siemens has been in Australia and New Zealand for 143 years and now employs about 2,000 people. Our technology can be found behind the scenes supporting critical infrastructure, and almost every industry. The company’s fingerprint can be found supporting everything from generating efficient and clean energy through to advanced medical imaging and diagnostics equipment. You will find Siemens automation, electrification and digitalisation technology in everything from the lane change controls on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, through to energy efficiency at the MCG and even hi-tech simulation used to help protect the Great Barrier Reef. Significant industries ranging from oil and gas to mining, roads and rail, food and beverage, manufacturing, buildings and construction, pharmaceuticals, water and energy utilities and even the latest wind farms being built in South Australia all rely on Siemens technologies. Siemens has a number of MoUs signed with stakeholders including Engineers Australia, Simulation Australasia and the South Australian Government; as well as an MoU with Defence Science and Technology Group and Queensland University of Technology to advance High Temperature Superconductors. CEDA will be tweeting from this Siemens has contributed over $AU5 million of technology and software in event using #EnergyFuture support of these MoUs. Other recent investments include new Service Centres built in Rockhampton, Perth Airport, and Tonsley Technology Precinct in South Join the conversation and follow us on Twitter @ceda_news Australia. With a global view on the trends and changes affecting the world now and in the future, Siemens actively supports local industry, governments and stakeholders to understand and prepare for key changes such as the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), the transition to intelligent infrastructure and the transition to a sustainable energy future.
