Established in 1977, this location in Princeton, New Jersey, is Siemens’ largest research and development center outside Europe. The research activities focus on software for medical technology as well as automation solutions for areas such as image processing, industrial applications, and energy technology. The facility also incorporates a subsidiary location established in 1999 – the Siemens Technology-to-Business Center in Berkeley, California – where 12 employees systematically search out external technologies and assist them on their way to commercial success.

The Munich location is home to 958 employees, including CT researchers and specialists in intellectual property rights, standardization, and technical security. Established in Munich’s Perlach district in 1977, it is Siemens’ largest corporate research location worldwide. Its work focuses on new materials such as ceramics, production processes, simulation technologies, security and software solutions, IT and communications technology, wireless sensor systems, gas sensor technology, automated image processing, and prototypes for complex microsystems.

Around 80 researchers and employees work in the area of intellectual property rights at Corporate Technology CEE in Vienna. CEE in Austria and Romania (with locations in Vienna, Graz, and Brasov) is responsible for CT activities in Central and Eastern Europe. The most important research areas are technologies for the design of microchips, the life sciences, and intelligent energy distribution networks.

CT researchers and employees working on intellectual property rights: 379.
Siemens researchers at the Erlangen location, which was founded in 1965, work mainly in the areas of energy and process technology, air and wastewater treatment, organic electronics, magnetoelectronics, high temperature superconductors, smart grids, CO2 separation and utilization, and molecular diagnostics.

The research team in St. Petersburg offers a wide range of intelligent solutions for risk analysis; it also works on processes for self-learning software. This software enables machines to monitor themselves and autonomously optimize their own operation, for example.

CT employees: 30.
The Moscow research center, which was established in 2005, focuses on materials science, energy conversion, and communications technology. Experts study modern – nanostructured – materials and their processing, simulate complex combustion processes, and develop innovative concepts for gas turbines and for petroleum and gas extraction and high-speed data transmission.

CT employees: 140.

CT researchers and patent and copyright specialists: 85.
Siemens researchers have been developing innovations in Berlin for the last100 years. Today, they focus on multifunctional materials and substances, nanotechnologies, micro-systems, gas analysis systems, and environmentally-focused product life cycle management.

CT employees: 105.
The Bangalore research location was established in 2004. Work focuses on software technologies, decentralized energy systems, embedded systems, and S.M.A.R.T. technologies - high-tech low-cost innovations that work reliably and, as far as possible, without requiring maintenance. In addition, CT also operates an innovation center for renewable energy and maintains a large number of projects with external partners.

CT employees: 6.
Water technology is the focal point of CT’s activities in Singapore. The research team is working with Siemens Water Technologies to develop a new, high-efficiency seawater desalination technology and improved solutions for removing pollutants from water.

CT employees: 64.
Shanghai is CT China’s second research location. Like their colleagues in Beijing, the scientists here are working on the development of S.M.A.R.T. technologies, but with a focus on materials-, energy-, and lighting research, as well as new solutions for low-voltage components. The Technology-to-Business-Center Shanghai is also based here. .

CT employees: 8.
In addition to two specialists for the registration and licensing of patents concerned with new technologies, an additional six scientists work here on research projects with partners such as the University of Tokyo. Their topics are service robots, high-power energy stores, new materials, and innovative energy technology. The location was established in 1984.
