Siemens taps Amazon for startup programme
Siemens has launched a startup programme for early-stage engineering and manufacturing companies..
The Siemens for Startups programme, announced at CES 2025 in Las Vegas this week, aims to help streamline development processes and scale faster by providing venture-related services and reduce the cost of access to Siemens Xcelerator software and hardware.
Siemens will also link the programme to Amazon’s AWS’s startup programme to integrate its industrial software – including design, simulation and manufacturing solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio into the AWS cloud infrastructure. Startup program will enable startups to access the tools and resources they need. Qualifying startups will receive AWS credits, business development resources and access to the AWS Activate programme. Siemens also supports the Cre8 Ventures programme for silicon startups.
“Startups are essential to making our customers more competitive, sustainable and resilient. By collaborating with startups, Siemens helps bring breakthrough ideas to industries faster, empowering customers to address global challenges more effectively with cutting-edge technologies, tools and solutions,” said Peter Koerte, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Chief technology Officer and Chief Strategy Officer.
“Collaborating with Siemens allows us to extend the capabilities of our AWS Startup program to a new generation of innovators in the engineering and manufacturing space,” said Jon Jones, Vice President and Global Head Startups at AWS. “By providing startups with advanced software, generative AI and cloud services, AWS and Siemens are enabling them to bring their ideas to life more quickly and boost entire industries with cutting-edge solutions.”
At CES 2025, Siemens highlighted the following startup companies that are collaborating with Siemens’ teams and technology to scale operations.
