Research Cooperation and Innovators Partnerships with Experts The keys to successful research are outstanding employees and a well-crafted network of experts. That’s why Siemens is involved in more than 1,000 research partnerships all over the world — and Corporate Technology accounts for about half of them.

Partnerships with leading international universities and research institutes are indispensable for Siemens’ research and development activities. Such partnerships allow the company to keep abreast of current developments, recruit the best employees for its teams, and integrate diverse cultures and research approaches. That’s why Siemens enters into more than 1,000 research partnerships every year with universities, research institutes, and indus- St. Petersburg Moscow Bangalore trial companies all over the world. The company’s global network of partnerships provides it with in-depth insights into the latest findings of basic and applied research throughout the world — and that applies to the Siemens Sectors as well as Corporate Technology, which is responsible for about half of these partnerships (see illustration). There are several good reasons why the universities and research institutes are interested in working with Siemens.

Many researchers later go on to work at Siemens, where they contribute their know-how to create innovations that have a major impact on the future (see the short profiles of some innovators starting on p. 46). Some 93,000 scientists and engineers work for Siemens worldwide — and almost 15,500 of them were hired in business year 2008 alone. Corporate Technology 39
