Emerging Technologies
Generative AI for Industrial Design
Generative AI can autonomously design and optimize industrial components and systems, accelerating R&D cycles and improving performance while reducing material waste.
Edge Computing for Real-time Analytics
Processing data closer to the source (e.g., factory floor, smart infrastructure) enables ultra-low latency analytics and immediate decision-making, crucial for predictive maintenance and autonomous operations.
Quantum Computing in Optimization
Though nascent, quantum computing has the potential to solve highly complex optimization problems in supply chain, logistics, and resource allocation at speeds currently impossible, revolutionizing industrial efficiency.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) 2023
This law (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) requires German companies with over 1,000 employees to ensure human rights and environmental due diligence throughout their supply chains, becoming effective in 2023.
It mandates Siemens to meticulously track and verify ethical and sustainable practices of its suppliers, increasing compliance costs and potentially driving demand for digital supply chain transparency solutions.
EU Taxonomy Regulation 2020 (with ongoing updates)
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities, aiming to direct investments towards green activities and combat 'greenwashing'.
It influences Siemens' product development and reporting, as its industrial digitalization and sustainability solutions must align with Taxonomy criteria to be considered 'green' and attractive for ESG-focused investments.
German IT Security Act 2.0 (IT-Sicherheitsgesetz 2.0) 2021
This act enhances cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure operators and introduces new categories of companies subject to reporting obligations, strengthening the BSI (Federal Office for Information Security).
Siemens, as both a critical infrastructure provider and a supplier to such entities, faces stricter cybersecurity compliance, driving demand for robust security features in its industrial automation and control systems.
