Joe Kaeser, Siemens President and CEO: "For me, 'ingenuity' means engineering expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, the power of innovation and the willingness to give our best for society on a daily basis. 'For life' means that, in every generation, we at Siemens create long-term value – for the individual customer, employee and citizen as well as for society as a whole."
With the strengthening of its global brand appearance and the related positioning, Siemens will be emphasizing its focus on electrification, automation and digitalization.

The new brand appearance will be rolled out globally at Siemens' Annual Shareholders' Meeting on January 26. Promotional activities will begin immediately thereafter ‒ initially in Germany, the U.S. and China.
