- Cooperative project to train more than 600 young women from five countries in Africa in ICT, coding, leadership and communications skills, in the context of the African Girls Can Code Initiative
- Siemens to make €780,000 available in the form of hardware, IT training materials and technical assistance to enhance young girls’ access to jobs and employment opportunities
- UN Women Liaison Office to African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) to coordinate activities under the umbrella of „African Girls Can Code Initiative“
Siemens AG and
UN Women Germany committed to jointly support the implementation of the African
Girls Can Code Initiative (AGCCI), an Africa continental program which aims to
provide comprehensive training in information and communication technology (ICT)
as well as coding and leadership skills to girls and young women in Africa. In
this connection, the partners emphasized the vital role education plays in addressing
gender inequalities and accelerating the empowerment of women and girls. The
project’s target group comprises young women aged 17 to 25 from Kenya, Rwanda,
Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. Within two years, as many as 625 young women will
benefit from the partnership; all offerings are free of charge for the
participants. By 2023, Siemens will initially provide €500,000 for this cause and
will support two-week, full-time coding camps in the five countries with digital
literacy, programming as well as personal development skills. Specifically, the
coding camps will cover topics such as robotics, the Internet of Things,
animation, 3D printing, gender equality and women’s empowerment, leadership,
and communications.
- Siemens
Mobility to
retrofit 176 ViRM double deck rail vehicles with the latest ETCS onboard
technology
- Siemens Mobility will provide seven years of
maintenance services for ETCS system
Siemens Mobility has been
awarded a contract by NS Group N.V, the Dutch Railways, to retrofit 176 ViRM trains
with the latest European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 technology. With
the ETCS Level 2 upgrade, the fleet will be able to operate with a greater
degree of efficiency for the remainder of its lifetime, while also meeting the
latest European standards for rail safety interoperability. Siemens Mobility
will provide the ETCS onboard unit
equipment and installation support, as well as seven years of maintenance
services for the system. The retrofitted vehicles will be delivered in the
period 2023–2027.
- Companies to work together to speed up energy transition
- Partnership to focus on green hydrogen projects at Shell and its customers
- Holland Hydrogen 1 project in Rotterdam key milestone in partnership to advance green hydrogen
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Shell Global Solutions International BV have
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing
low-carbon and highly efficient energy solutions that support the energy
transition. The agreement will focus on projects that produce green hydrogen
for industrial applications at Shell and its customers, as well as enhancing
collaboration in the areas of biofuels and circular chemistry. Under the MoU,
Siemens and Shell will create solutions that increase energy efficiency and
generate sustainable power, consisting of, but not limited to, digitalization,
efficient networks, and the production, distribution, and application of green
hydrogen. The partnership, inked with Siemens’ Electrification and Automation
business unit, has the potential to strengthen synergies for both parties. While
Siemens intends to work with Shell to accelerate the latter’s transition towards
net-zero operations, Shell seeks to supply Siemens and its affiliates with low
carbon products that reduce emissions across the supply chain, in Siemens’
operations, and in the use phase of Siemens products, consisting of but not
limited to supply of biofuels.

- Siemens Mobility supported RATP and Ile-de-France
Mobilités in the complete automation of Line 4
- Siemens Mobility fully automated the line with its digitalized
systems and CBTC signaling technology
- The automation of Line 4 will centralize control of operations, increase availability, reliability, and
capacity
The
modernization of Line 4 of the Paris Metro has been completed with the highest
grade of automation and the automatic driverless metros have now begun revenue
service. The digitalization
and optimization of Line 4 will allow RATP to safely increase frequency by reducing intervals
between trains from 105 to 85 seconds. Chosen in
2015 by RATP to automate Line 4, Siemens Mobility supplied their digitalized
communication and CBTC signaling systems to modernize the network. After a
trial run with no passengers that began in June, the automation of Line 4 is now
a reality. More automatic driverless shuttles will be introduced into the
line's traffic over time to achieve full automation by the end of 2023.
