Siemens in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

With its locations in Erlangen and Nuremberg, as well as Forchheim, Fürth, Lauf a.d. Pegnitz, and Amberg, the Nuremberg metropolitan region is among the most important and tradition-rich sites of the company.

The promotion of education and science, social and humanitarian causes, as well as art and culture, is therefore a special concern of Siemens AG. Through the commitment of the Erlangen/Nuremberg Regional Office, the company aims to contribute to a high quality of life for local people and to create an attractive location for its employees. Starting with support for social projects, through the coordination of school partnerships, to the promotion of scientific events and cultural projects, the Regional Office supports a wide spectrum of initiatives in the region.
