Siemens and Capgemini have expanded their long-standing partnership to develop a new generation of AI-native digital solutions for the industrial sector. The collaboration aims to accelerate digital transformation in engineering, manufacturing, and operations by embedding artificial intelligence at the core of these processes. The two companies will focus on 16 high-impact areas to deliver measurable gains in production speed, time-to-market, quality, and energy optimization.
The partnership combines Siemens’ strengths in industrial software, automation, electrification, and sustainability with Capgemini’s expertise in engineering, business transformation, and industry-specific consulting. The goal is to co-create AI-native assets that can orchestrate collaboration across engineering and production environments, addressing the long-standing challenge of connecting IT and operational technologies.
The collaboration has already delivered results in key projects with leading global clients. For example, Airbus is using Siemens’ and Capgemini’s technologies to decarbonize four industrial sites, aiming for an 85% reduction in emissions by 2030. Sanofi is digitizing its global manufacturing network through AI-powered Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), while GravitHy is using digital tools to improve agility and cut hydrogen production costs.
The partnership will prioritize industries such as aerospace, automotive, and life sciences, as well as emerging sectors like hydrogen and water management. Capgemini will grow its pool of certified Siemens technology experts across multiple regions to support this expansion. With a partnership spanning nearly two decades and over 100 joint clients across 20 countries, Siemens and Capgemini aim to lead the next phase of industrial innovation powered by AI-native design and intelligent automation.
The CEOs of both companies have expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, with Cedrik Neike, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries, describing it as a “powerful combination of guidance and technology.” Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini, said the expanded collaboration will set new standards for intelligent manufacturing and industrial AI adoption, helping clients achieve tangible business impact. The partnership is expected to drive measurable outcomes across industries, enabling clients to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve sustainability.
