Siemens and startups? Oh yeah!
Every industry leader was once a startup company. Back in the day, there weren’t many initiatives to foster innovation and accelerate growth. We, at Siemens Digital Industries Software, are committed to helping these innovative teams succeed and understand many of the challenges they face.
Technology is constantly evolving, so digitalization and innovation have become more critical than ever. And with the fast-paced digital transformation occurring across so many industries, it is becoming increasingly evident that startups play an integral role in ushering in the future. Siemens Digital Industries Software offers Xcelerator for Startups, a program that partners with startups to help them become the next industry leaders.
At Siemens, we believe in the impact that startups can make on the world. By partnering with us, startup organizations can gain access to the right tools and resources to take the step from digitalization to realization and become the next innovative leader. Knowing that startups’ needs are not a one-size-fits-all, Siemens Xcelerator for Startups has a unique solution for everyone: tools to support product designers, a solid application platform for software developers and matchmaking with our business units to create a plan for commercial success.
