A Century of Human Capital Investment: Siemens Romania's Educational Journey
Siemens' 120-year partnership with Romanian technical universities: a steady commitment to sustainable collaboration
Since the inception of Societatea Română de Electricitate - Siemens Schuckert Societate Anonimă in 1905, Siemens Romania has been consistently anchored in education and talent development, investing over 120 years in our nation's knowledge capital.
Early Steps
The company's roots stretch back to 1906, when it donated its first pieces of equipment to the Politehnica University of Bucharest, underscoring its determination to invest in the future generations of specialists. This early show of dedication signaled Siemens' strategic commitment to building an educated, capable workforce and an advanced infrastructure.
Ongoing Partnerships
Throughout the years, Siemens Romania has maintained close relations with top technical universities like those in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj-Napoca, and Iasi. These long-term collaborations have involved substantial investments in scholarships, valued at nearly €1,900,000, empowering thousands of undergraduate, Master's, and PhD students to excel in digital and sustainable technologies.
Nurturing Talent, Fostering Innovation
Siemens Romania's collaboration with academia transcends academics, with the company actively participating in the digital transition across vital sectors such as energy, infrastructure, transportation, and industry. A key aspect of this partnership revolves around research and development, with nearly 25% of Siemens Talents Hub program participants, an initiative designed to cultivate and hone the skills of future specialists, now a part of its R&D workforce.
Building Our Future Together
Drawing on a rich, century-long history, Siemens Romania continues to foster a sustainable partnership with both institutions of higher learning and the broader Romanian community. This comprehensive approach to education, innovation, and talent development is an essential component of Siemens' unwavering commitment to supporting Romania's industrial and technological progress.
As Daniel Barciuc, the CEO of Siemens Romania, stated, "We remain deeply committed to supporting Romania, focusing on education, advanced technologies, and fostering sustainable growth and competitiveness within the local economy."
