Innovation Day 2018
The Siemens Innovation Day will bring together some of the brightest minds driving innovation, globally and in the region. Through enlightening and thought-provoking discussions, the event held in partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority aims to not only highlight the most compelling technologies of our time and how they will shape the future, but also examine the journey towards their implementation. We bring together representatives from government and the private sector, topic experts and trendsetters to illustrate this future. We will also display the latest technologies from our global R&D departments, talk about Siemens’ innovation strategy for the next years and discuss how innovative solutions – especially from the field of digitalization – are creating value for our customers.
New technologies and their role in disrupting industries. Examining hydrogen as a fuel for the future, the increasing role that blockchain and AI will play in future energy systems and how they are disrupting conventional industries.
