Siemens, Capgemini partner to build AI-native industrial solutions

The collaboration aims to accelerate digital transformation in engineering, manufacturing, and operations through embedded artificial intelligence

Siemens and Capgemini have expanded their long-standing strategic partnership to develop a new generation of AI-native digital solutions designed for the industrial sector. These innovations will integrate artificial intelligence at the core of product engineering, manufacturing, and operations, enabling clients to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve sustainability across multiple industries.

Embedding AI at the core of industrial transformation

The two global technology leaders will focus on 16 high-impact capability areas to deliver measurable gains in production speed, time-to-market, quality, and energy optimization. The collaboration combines Siemens’ strengths in industrial software, automation, electrification, and sustainability with Capgemini’s expertise in engineering, business transformation, and industry-specific consulting.

This joint initiative will address long-standing challenges around connecting IT and operational technologies — an increasingly critical need for manufacturers modernizing their infrastructure. Through the use of industrial AI, digital twins, and next-generation automation, Siemens and Capgemini plan to co-create AI-native assets that can orchestrate collaboration across engineering and production environments.

Cedrik Neike, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries, described the partnership as a powerful combination of guidance and technology: “Capgemini is like a compass for our customers, helping them navigate complexity, while Siemens provides the engine through technologies like industrial AI and automation. Together, we accelerate digital transformation with precision and purpose.”

Driving measurable outcomes across industries

Capgemini CEO Aiman Ezzat said the expanded collaboration will set new standards for intelligent manufacturing and industrial AI adoption, helping clients achieve tangible business impact. The partnership is already delivering results across key projects with leading global clients.

For instance, Airbus is leveraging Siemens’ and Capgemini’s technologies to decarbonize four industrial sites in the U.S. and U.K., 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 by up to 10%.

The global initiative will prioritize industries such as aerospace, automotive, and life sciences, as well as emerging sectors like hydrogen and water management. To support this expansion, Capgemini will grow its pool of certified Siemens technology experts across multiple regions.

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.
