WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Siemens, a global leader in digital technologies and software with more
than 50,000 employees in the U.S., is proud to once again partner with
Infrastructure Week, a national effort led by mayors, city leaders,
policymakers, business leaders, and infrastructure experts, to optimize
U.S. infrastructure.
U.S. cities are grappling with a challenge ÔÇô how to ensure that legacy
infrastructure can connect and interact with the digital tools of today
and tomorrow. Digital capabilities allow cities to dynamically reinvent
the infrastructure they have from energy to buildings to transportation.
Throughout the U.S., Siemens is working with more than 100 cities and
helping to make static infrastructure flexible for the future. The
company is pioneering secure approaches to connect city data through
cloud-based platforms: to help water pumps live longer, make buildings
self-sufficient, and to create additional rail capacity.
ÔÇ£Siemens has proven technology, expertise and innovation to make
infrastructure work better than ever before for cities and for the
people who live and work there. Our digital capabilities bring data to
life and help cities unlock their potential when it comes to
infrastructure investment. They support an improved quality of life and
helps cities to remain competitive,ÔÇØ said Barbara Humpton, incoming CEO
of Siemens USA (as of June 1) and current CEO of Siemens Government
