Siemens patent applications
Inventors of the year 2016 have been announced
Siemens has now named ten particularly resourceful researchers "Inventors of the Year 2016". The scientists from Germany, Austria, the USA and Denmark are responsible for 558 registered inventions and 597 individual patents.
"Research in the 21st century cannot take place in an ivory tower," said Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser at the award ceremony. "Open innovation is the magic word - innovation today is a team sport." For this reason, the prize, which has been awarded annually to outstanding researchers and developers at the company since 1995, was upgraded this year: "New Talents", "Outstanding Invention", "Lifetime Achievement" and "Open Innovation" are the categories in which inventors who make a significant contribution to the company's success are honored.
