Siemens and Atos have decided to further strengthen their strategic alliance. The companies will further increase the funding of their joint innovation investment program by an additional €80 million to €230 million.

On the fifth anniversary of the Siemens-Atos Alliance in late October, the Alliance Board expressed their satisfaction about the performance of the business collaboration, which continues over-achieving the expectations by far. Since 2011 Siemens and Atos have achieved a joint order intake of more than €1.7 billion.

Leveraging on the increased funding the two companies have the ambition to further accelerate their joint business until 2020. The new funding will be focused to explore further opportunities for joint collaborations in the fields of Industrial Security, Industrial Data Analytics, Machine Intelligence, Service Enhancing Technologies and Web of Systems.
