Siemens, Georgia Tech expand innovation partnership

Siemens and Georgia Tech are expanding a nearly two-decade partnership to prepare the future manufacturing and engineering workforce.

The expansion was announced Thursday during the “Bold Bets: Commercializing the Cosmos” event held by The Atlantic at Georgia Tech, which focused on collaborations between companies and government entities. Under the expanded relationship, Georgia Tech was named a Siemens Center of Knowledge Interchange partner, joining a group of eight research universities. The partners are set to work on a project to enhance the company’s human-simulation software.

The Siemens Foundation has collaborated with Georgia Tech’s Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing for more than 15 years. Siemens has also provided Georgia Tech access to software for its engineering curriculum valued at more than $200 million. The partnership has also focused on improving K-12 science and math education in underserved communities. The school has partnered on more than 20 projects with the company over the past three years in manufacturing, health care and energy.

Siemens recruits about 30 Georgia Tech students each year, primarily through 15 technical training programs.
