The new unit will have funding of €1 billion for the first five years. Siegfried Russwurm, Siemens Chief Technology Officer, will head the new unit on an acting basis. The new unit will be given the necessary independence but can nevertheless leverage the advantages offered by Siemens. It will have offices in Berkeley, Shanghai and Munich and cover all regions of the world from those locations. next47 will build on Siemens' existing startup activities.

Werner von Siemens Workshop
Siemens as a start-up: for its new headquarters in Munich, Siemens commissioned construction of a replica of the company founder's historic workshop of 1847. The first manufacturing shop was tucked-away in a rear building at Schöneberger Strasse 19 in what is now the Friedrichshain district of Berlin, Germany. In this 150-square-meter workshop, 10 craftspeople manufactured the first pointer telegraphs. On three workbenches, these devices were built out of tinplate, copper wire, wooden boxes and other materials. The Werner von Siemens Workshop is set up so that it can be viewed by the public like a shop-window display.
