As of 5 Oct 2026, 14:51What does Siemens do?
Munich-based Siemens is one of Europe’s largest technology companies. It supplies controls and software for factories, technology for buildings and power grids, trains such as Germany’s ICE, and, through its subsidiary Healthineers, medical equipment. Software matters more and more: it lets companies design and test products and factories on a computer first.
On a Deutsche Bahn ICE you are riding a Siemens train. And the MRI scanner at the hospital often comes from its subsidiary Siemens Healthineers.
