Welcome to the Siemens Technology-to-Business Center New Ventures Forum
From our humble beginning in 1847 in a small Berlin workshop, entrepreneurial Innovation has always been a core part of Siemens’ DNA. While we have grown to become a worldwide leader across many markets, we continue to engage with garage start-ups and early stage innovators that think and act a lot like a modern version of that Berlin workshop, with the goal of building partnerships that will become Siemens’ bridge to tomorrow’s technology innovations.
The stories below provide a peak into the benefits to startups that come with attending Siemens TTB’s New Ventures Forum (formerly New Ventures Workshop), and what partnering with us could mean for your startup. We welcome your thoughts and comments.
Sincerely,
Chenyang Xu
General Manager, Siemens TTB
