- Founded as a courtyard workshop in Berlin on October 1, 1847
- Around four million people employed worldwide to date since 1847
- Current global market leader in automation, electrification, digitalization and transportation
- Celebration in Berlin with German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz
On October
12, 1847, Siemens started operations as a small factory workshop with ten
employees manufacturing pointer telegraphs, in a courtyard tucked away behind a
building on Schoeneberger Strasse in Berlin. Now, 175 years later, Siemens has more
than 300,000 employees around the world and, with around €62 billion in annual
revenue, is one of the world’s largest technology powerhouses. On
October 1, 1847, 11 days before operations began, Werner von Siemens and
precision mechanic Johann Georg Halske had completed the company’s official
founding. Today, October 12, 2022, Siemens is marking its 175th birthday with a
celebratory event at the Schaltwerk factory in the Siemensstadt section of
Berlin. German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, together with numerous guests
from the realms of politics, business and academia will join the anniversary event.

- Guidance raised: Siemens now expects comparable revenue growth in the range of 7 percent to 10 percent (previously expected at 6 percent to 9 percent) and an increase in basic EPS pre PPA to a range of €8.90 to €9.40 (previously expected at €8.70 to €9.20)
Siemens started
fiscal 2023 (to December 31, 2022) with a strong performance and maintained its
continuing growth momentum with very good results in Q1. The company leveraged
growth opportunities in its key markets despite a still complex macroeconomic
environment. Following the strong start in fiscal 2023, Siemens raises its
outlook for fiscal 2023. For the Siemens Group, the company now expects
comparable revenue growth, net of currency translation and portfolio effects,
in the range of 7 percent to 10 percent (previously expected at 6 percent to 9 percent)
and continues to expect a book-to-bill ratio above 1. Furthermore, Siemens now
expects this profitable growth of its industrial businesses to drive an
increase in basic EPS from net income before purchase price allocation
accounting (EPS pre PPA) to a range of €8.90 to €9.40 (previously expected at
€8.70 to €9.20) in fiscal 2023.
- Digitalizing and structuring organizational knowledge through knowledge graphs
- Building towards enriched and contextualized IoT-data service provision and AI-leveraged user self-service experience through chatbots
