make things happen, namely continuous personal development, and refusing to
rest on your laurels. In the episodes, professional
soccer players, Bundesliga basketball players and managers from FC Bayern
Munich talk, among other things, about what success means to them, how they
have always been able to rekindle their enthusiasm for their sport and, as a
result, overcome difficult phases in their career. The episodes will be

- Hamburger
Hochbahn and Siemens Mobility are building the train control system of tomorrow
for Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines
- Significant
increase in capacity: trains will be able to run at 100-second intervals
Between now and 2030, a state-of-the-art digital train
control system from Siemens Mobility will be installed as an upgrade to the
conventional train control system used by operator Hamburger Hochbahn
(HOCHBAHN) on its U2 and U4 subway lines. The new technology, known as CBTC
(communication-based train control), will allow trains to run at shorter
intervals of only 100 seconds, which will put significantly more trains on the
track in the future, thereby increasing capacity. In addition, CBTC also
improves punctuality, reliability, and energy consumption.
Fraport AG, operator of the Frankfurt Airport, has commissioned Siemens, lead in a consortium with Max Bögl Group and Keolis Deutschland GmbH & Co.

- Green Stay Initiative (GSI) is first global standard to enable more
sustainable business-travel lodging and meetings
- Beginning in 2023, Siemens to select its preferred supplier hotels
according to GSI sustainability criteria
- Open-source tool available for also enabling other companies to
reduce their carbon footprint
Siemens will be the first global company to introduce a mandatory Green Stay
Initiative (GSI) policy and request that hotels provide data about their
environmental impact. Together with the international service company HRS,
Siemens developed global, traceable, and standardized criteria by which the
carbon footprint of each individual hotel can be tracked and compared with others.
So far, there has not been a global standard for using traceable criteria to compare
hotel sustainability.
