"Inventions don't fall from the sky and rarely arise from flashes of inspiration," says Inventor of the Year Michael Clossen-von Lanken Schulz. His recipe for success: constantly examining technologies from all specialist areas and exchanging ideas with experts in order to find ideas for applications. In this way, the Principal Key Expert at Gas and Power has achieved almost 80 patents that have made Siemens a world leader in innovative testing and maintenance processes for gas and steam turbines. He is currently concentrating on a robot that can also work together with humans - in other words, a versatile cobot for various tasks.
