Industrial artificial intelligence for the Frontier Program
As technology continues to move globally towards Industry 4.0, the need for digitalization is at an all-time high. With demand for great innovation to meet this need, it is abundantly clear that startups are trailblazing the path toward a more digital, innovative, and sustainable future.
Frontier Partner Program supports early-stage startups
Although it is easy to see startups as the industry leaders of tomorrow, that does not mean their journey is without its set of unique challenges. To better support startups, Siemens launched the Frontier Partner Program. This program allows us to partner with and support early-stage software and hardware startups looking to build their groundbreaking solutions on top of our advanced software and transform the product design and manufacturing landscape. With our superior technologies and partnership programs like Frontier, we will be jointly helping customers transform the industries that form the backbone of future economies.
Frontier startup program focuses on themes
Specifically focusing on high-potential and high-growth technology sectors, Siemens has created several “themes” for close-knit, mutually beneficial partnerships with many cutting-edge startups around the globe. These themes include Additive Manufacturing, Advanced Robotics, and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR). They allow startups that fall into these spaces to take advantage of Siemens’s tools and resources. In addition, participants receive a year of free software licenses to many of our advanced Xcelerator solutions, e.g., NX, Solid Edge, Process Simulate, Plant Simulation, etc., to help develop and integrate their solutions. In addition, startups also receive free online training and support they need to be successful in their journey, along with co-marketing opportunities and the ability to join our vast ecosystem.
Frontier introduces Industrial AI theme for startups
With technology continuing to evolve and the need for digitalization constantly expanding, we are excited to announce the newest theme to Frontier: Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has enormous potential to optimize the entire manufacturing value chain. Artificial Intelligence enables the trustworthy processing and analysis of large and complex datasets during the whole lifecycle – for better products, more efficient software, and optimized production.
For any early-stage startup ready to build upon industry-proven software solutions focusing on Industrial AI, Additive Manufacturing, AR/VR, or Advanced Robotics, the Frontier Program may be a good fit for you. Learn more about Frontier
