EU to Invest €1.3 Billion in AI, Cybersecurity, and Digital Skills
The European Commission announced a €1.3 billion investment into AI, cybersecurity, and digital skills.
With 1,830 patent applications in 2024 at the European Patent Office (EPO), Siemens ranks first among EU-based companies. The ranking is led by Samsung, Huawei, and LG. Germany is represented in the top 10 list by Siemens, BASF, and Bosch.
In the field of “computer technology,” which saw the highest number of patent applications at the EPO for the first time in 2024, Siemens is strongly represented. The company ranks 5th among the 20 most active patent applicants in this technology field. Computer technology includes AI technologies, particularly machine learning and pattern recognition, and Siemens is increasingly active in these areas. The share of patent applications in machine learning and AI currently stands at around 25 percent – an increase of 60 percent over the past five years. The strong research and development activity underscores Siemens’s technological leadership in the field of industrial AI and software.
With its innovations, Siemens combines the real and digital worlds and makes AI usable for entire industries. The solutions range from intelligent data analysis to simulations in digital twins for more efficient and sustainable production, energy supply, mobility, and infrastructure. With the ongoing ONE Tech Company program, Siemens is increasing its innovation power and speed. Through targeted investments in focus areas and core technologies and the creation of Foundational Technologies as a unit to scale core technologies, the company is further expanding its position as a leading technology company. Total investments in research and development increased to €6.3 billion in the fiscal year 2024.
Siemens holds a total of 41,700 granted patents worldwide. In the fiscal year 2024, its employees submitted around 5,300 invention disclosures worldwide. Based on 220 workdays during the year, that amounts to approximately 24 inventions per day. Siemens employs around 53,000 people in research and development in 50 countries, including around 13,800 in Germany.
