The company
has spent over $30 million over the past four years in building its research
& development operations in Florida.
This new $2 million investment in additional space for Innovation
Center—Orlando and $5 million in CAPX for state-of-the-art equipment will
enhance the facility’s machine shop and technical application area, including
its additive manufacturing capabilities and use of robotics to inspect and
repair components for equipment like turbines capable of running on hydrogen. The investment will also expand the Center’s
space dedicated to co-creation and include a TED Talk theater. The growth of the Center will allow for more
strategic partnerships with small business, universities, and new ventures as
resources to support innovation are consolidated in one location.
Rich Voorberg, president, North America for Siemens Energy
said “Innovation Center—Orlando represents a new model for driving
transformational innovation across the energy industry. When it comes to the energy transition, we
know that time is of the essence, but also that we can’t do it alone. What the
Center provides is the space and the mentality for collaboration to thrive. With
an ability to operate like a start-up and shift priorities quickly the
Innovation Center enables us to reduce the time it takes to test new concepts from
six months to six weeks.”

Siemens Energy has plans to open Innovation Centers around
the world, with additional locations in Berlin, Abu Dhabi, and Shenzhen. Each Center will operate on a partnership
model with both academic and industry partners, and the work of each center will
complement the others to help Siemens Energy reach its goals to foster low or
zero-emission power generation, transport and store electricity, and reduce the
carbon footprint and energy consumption in industrial processes.
