en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens is opening its industrial software to European startups, offering three pre-configured software packages through its "Startups Program" aimed at helping early-stage companies overcome the challenges of transitioning from laboratory results to practical industrial applications.
When transitioning from prototype development to industrial production, startups often face obstacles such as a lack of reference customers, limited growth capital, and insufficient market integration. Siemens, as an established industrial player, aims to bridge the gap between innovation and scaling by providing these companies with pilot project support in real-world environments and opening doors to industrial applications and networks. Peter Koerte, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer and member of the Managing Board at Siemens, stated that collaboration between industry and startups has become a strategic factor for competitiveness, with startups bringing speed while Siemens contributes industrial depth and global customer relationships.
Through the Xcelerator Marketplace, startups can enhance their international visibility and gain access to an existing technology ecosystem already running with potential customers. Combined with competitively priced industrial software packages, this approach lowers the entry barrier for startups, allowing them to focus on product and market development without investing resources in building foundational tool infrastructure.
The Siemens Startups Program is built around three pillars: connection, collaboration, and empowerment, and currently collaborates with over 7,000 startups. The program provides startups with industrial technologies used by global manufacturers, as well as market access and industrial cooperation opportunities. In fields such as manufacturing, robotics, materials, energy, and industrial AI, the transition from pilot to mass production is often the most expensive and slowest phase of development. Siemens' software-centric approach offers European startups a faster path to integrating into the value chains of large manufacturers and securing their first reference cases.
