Collaborations and Open Innovation

One genius may have a brilliant idea, but ten geniuses will find a better solution. We strongly believe in the power of collaboration.

The Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem clusters 16 globally spread local ecosystems, which are designed to conduct collaborative and excellent research together. Universities, universities for applied sciences, research institutes, incubators, business partners and start-ups work together with Siemens experts to find solutions for today’s most urgent challenges. The Siemens Research and Innovation Ecosystem (RIE) programme addresses today’s challenges with future technologies in a collaborative and therefore promising way.

Empowering innovation across our ecosystem

We empower external partners with access to our software, technology, and collaboration opportunities – enabling students, academia, and startups to turn ideas into scalable impact.
