Under the motto “Creating value with certainty,” Siemens presented its latest developments in building, security, and energy technology. Participants gained exciting insights into forward-looking technologies and had the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts in specialist presentations and an extensive exhibition.
The afternoon began with an opening address by Patricia Neumann, CEO of Siemens Austria, followed by keynote speeches on resilience, security technology, and hospital infrastructure. In the late afternoon, the focus was on compact technical presentations on three technical innovations:
- blue GIS: F-gas-free energy distribution for environmentally friendly network technology
- SENTRON ECPD: New standards in protective switching technology
- BACnet Secure Connect / KNX Secure: Increased cyber security in building automation
A special highlight was the closing presentation by well-known presenter and adventurer Tom Walek, who gave an impressive account of his experiences on his “Expedition to the South Pole.”
Platform for new ideas from industry
The University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien was represented with its expertise in industrial engineering, sustainable building technologies, and renewable energy systems. The event provided a platform to showcase the university’s know-how and at the same time gather new ideas from industry. Erich Markl, David Sengl, and Momir Tabakovic were enthusiastic about the technical input and the numerous networking opportunities.
