Siemens recently marked an extraordinary milestone—125 years of partnership, progress, and innovation in Egypt. What began as a pioneering technological contribution in the 19th century has evolved into one of the most enduring and impactful collaborations in the region.
The celebration, held in Cairo, brought together distinguished German and Egyptian Ministers and government representatives, alongside Dr. Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG. The gathering honored not only Siemens' legacy but also a shared commitment to shaping Egypt’s future with sustainable, resilient, and forwardlooking solutions.
In his remarks, Dr. Busch reflected on the power of this historic collaboration, emphasizing that Siemens and Egypt share far more than a business relationship. They share a vision—one grounded in trust, innovation, and the belief that technology can elevate quality of life for millions.
A Legacy Rooted in Innovation
Siemens’ story in Egypt dates back to 1859, when the company built the country’s first telegraph line—connecting people, accelerating communication, and laying the foundation for modern infrastructure. From that moment onward, Siemens became deeply woven into Egypt’s technological evolution, powering industries, modernizing mobility, and enabling new digital capabilities across the nation.
Powering Egypt’s Ambitions
Siemens has been a key partner in advancing Egypt’s Vision 2030, delivering transformative projects that strengthen communities and fuel economic growth. The landmark Mega Power Plants added 14.4 GW of capacity in record time, boosting energy security and setting global standards for efficiency.
In transportation, Siemens is shaping the future with Egypt’s first 2,000kilometer high-speed rail network, connecting major cities and serving nearly 90% of the population with safer, faster, and greener mobility.
Beyond megaprojects, Siemens continues to enable smart infrastructure, industrial automation, and Industry 4.0 technologies—empowering businesses with sustainable, data-driven, and energyefficient solutions.
