Meanwhile in 2016, Siemens Ltd. Seoul (SLS) delivered the ‘City Performance Tool (CyPT) report for a sustainable city’ to Seoul metropolitan government. According to the report suggested by Siemens, Seoul would implement 46 infrastructure technologies, including building automation, new e-BRT and rail lines and a combined heat and power network in order to identify the most impactful emission reduction measures. Moreover, in October 2013, based on strong support from Seoul city, SLS successfully established the Asia Regional Headquarters for Energy Solutions Business covering Asia, Australia, Middle East and North Africa regions, and thus was able to expand business opportunities in the domestic market. The award is expected to further strengthen the cooperative relationship between Siemens and Seoul City.
