(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 9-Feb-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens has marked 125 years of partnership with Egypt, reaffirming its long-standing commitment to supporting the country’s industrial, energy, and digital transformation. The milestone celebration, held in Cairo, was attended by senior German and Egyptian government representatives alongside Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG, underscoring the strategic importance of the relationship.

The anniversary highlights more than a century of collaboration that has evolved from early telecommunications infrastructure to large-scale power generation, transportation modernization, and advanced digital solutions. Siemens’ presence in Egypt dates back to the installation of the country’s first telegraph line in 1859, laying the foundation for decades of technological cooperation that has shaped the nation’s development.

Roland Busch emphasised that the partnership is built on trust, innovation, and a shared vision for the future. He noted that Siemens remains dedicated to delivering technologies that strengthen industries, enhance infrastructure, and contribute to Egypt’s long-term sustainability and resilience in line with its national development priorities.

Today, Siemens plays a central role in advancing Egypt’s Vision 2030, particularly through its involvement in flagship infrastructure projects. The Legacy Mega Power Plants initiative, delivered in partnership with the Egyptian government, added 14.4 gigawatts of electricity capacity in a short timeframe, significantly improving the country’s energy security and efficiency.

In parallel, Siemens is leading the development of Egypt’s first high-speed rail network, a 2,000-kilometre system designed to connect major urban centres and serve nearly 90 percent of the population. The project represents a major step toward smart, sustainable mobility while enhancing economic connectivity across the country.

Beyond these large-scale projects, Siemens is supporting the digital transformation of Egyptian industry through advanced automation, data-driven manufacturing, and energy-efficient technologies aligned with Industry 4.0 principles. These solutions are helping local businesses increase productivity, reduce emissions, and integrate modern digital capabilities into their operations.

Siemens operates in Egypt through three specialized entities that contribute to different aspects of the country’s technological advancement. Siemens Industrial focuses on electrification, automation, and digitalisation, providing solutions that improve efficiency and competitiveness across key sectors. Siemens Mobility delivers intelligent transport systems, including high-speed rail and rail modernisation projects that enhance national connectivity.

Meanwhile, Siemens Digital Industries Software serves as a global innovation hub in Egypt, operating a research and development centre that supports electronic design automation and digital transformation through the Siemens Xcelerator platform.

With more than 2,000 employees in Egypt, the majority of whom are Egyptian nationals, Siemens reiterated its long-term commitment to local development, skills building, and sustainable growth. The company highlighted that its continued investment will help shape a greener, more resilient, and digitally advanced future for Egypt in the years ahead.
