F.l.t.r. Thorsten Schatz, Frank Bewig, Nathalie von Siemens, Veronika Bienert, Franziska Giffey, Kai Wegner, Cedrik Neike, Christian Gaebler, Jörg Vocke, Thomas Braun“For me, Siemensstadt Square is a city of doers – and this topping-out ceremony shows what’s possible when many people tackle something together,” said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries. “With the first two new buildings, our idea is visibly taking shape – for Siemensstadt Square, for Berlin and for the people of this city. We’re very grateful to the State of Berlin and the Spandau district for their close cooperation. Together, we’re creating a new part of Berlin here, a place where research, industrial development, and innovation have a home.”Kai Wegner, Governing Mayor of Berlin, adds: “Siemensstadt Square marks the beginning of a new chapter for Siemens in Berlin. An innovative, forward-looking location is taking shape here, combining residential living, work and industrial strength. An innovation campus featuring high-performing companies, excellent research and digital technologies will be created in the entrance area, contributing to the location’s appeal. Our goal is to develop a new, sustainable and modern urban district here in the west part of Berlin, which also safeguards existing industry and additional industrial land for future growth, and – through tailored planning – provides even more housing for the residents of Berlin.”“Siemensstadt Square is consistently progressing – with a clear focus on a balanced, sustainable mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. At the same time, we’re steadily moving forward with the implementation: The shell construction of the first new buildings has been completed on schedule and they’ll be finished within the planned time and investment framework. Step by step, an open campus is taking shape that combines economic strength with quality of life and opens up new prospects for Berlin,” said Veronika Bienert, member of the Managing Board and CFO of Siemens AG.Open innovation campusThe new buildings at the future Siemensstadt S-Bahn station form the visible entrance to an open innovation campus. The atrium building (scheduled for completion at the start of 2027) will be the future home of Siemens AG’s Berlin headquarters. The approximately 60-meter-tall high-rise (scheduled for completion at the start of 2028) will house teams from Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Mobility. At the same time, the site will consciously be opened up to companies, research institutions and startups. That will create a powerful ecosystem for future industrial technologies – especially in the fields of industrial software, industrial artificial intelligence and smart sustainable infrastructure. Industrial production will be concentrated in two industrial hubs. With this flagship project, Siemens is reinforcing its commitment to Germany as a business location and to the “Made for Germany” initiative. A total of 134 companies involved in this initiative are committed to sustainably strengthening innovative power, competitiveness and future viability. Between 2025 and 2028, the members are jointly investing more than €800 billion in Germany.Far more living space A key outcome of the restructuring is the significant expansion of the amount of housing available: The new framework plan will allow for approximately 3,750 apartments in the future – around 1,000 more than previously planned. This will create urgently needed living space while making the quarter significantly more urban, vibrant, and sustainable in the long term. Siemensstadt Square is steadily evolving into a place where work, home and life come together.School construction underway and reactivation of the Siemensbahn rail lineAt the same time, key infrastructure requirements are being put in place. Under the new framework plan, the plot of land for the planned elementary school will be transferred to the State of Berlin and the Spandau district as early as July 1, 2026. The four-form elementary school will be built in the immediate vicinity of the future S-Bahn station. The reactivation of the Siemensbahn rail line, as a key infrastructure project, also secures the region’s future. The new connection will significantly improve access from Siemensstadt Square to Berlin Central Station and lay the foundation for sustainable mobility throughout the quarter.Holistic approach to sustainabilitySiemensstadt Square is also setting new standards when it comes to sustainability – with a climate-neutral energy supply from its own local heating and cooling network, featuring Europe’s largest wastewater heat exchanger. Carbon-reduced building materials, timber hybrid construction method, new buildings constructed to the highly efficient KfW40 building standard and the aim of achieving LEED Platinum, the highest level certification, underscore the high standards for the construction. Implementation continues to gather paceCurrently, several hundred people are working daily to make the “Berliner Zukunftsort” – a future location for Berlin – a reality. Planning is carried out entirely digitally using building information modeling (BIM). Digital twins enable more precise planning, more efficient construction processes and optimized operations. A crane was needed to lift the 3-meter-high, 150-kg topping-out crown.  At the topping-out ceremony, the Siemens Managing Board was presented with the “Zukunftsort” certificate.

Together, the companies are creating a standardized and globally replicable automation platform that will enable rapid deployment by Ucaneo and its licensed operators worldwide. By 2035, Ucaneo targets the annual capture of half a gigaton of CO₂ from the atmosphere, which is roughly equivalent to cancelling out the entire annual CO₂ emissions of Canada. The partnership addresses a growing industrial challenge: sectors from aviation to chemicals increasingly require access to sustainably sourced CO₂ as a feedstock – and large-scale Direct Air Capture offers a scalable solution, replacing fossil-derived carbon with CO₂ captured directly from the atmosphere.

Ucaneo’s first industrial facility based in Berlin, Germany (Credits: Leonhard Kupsch)First-of-a-kind DAC plantUcaneo has developed an electrochemical DAC process, inspired by the human lung, that removes CO₂ directly from ambient air and delivers high-purity CO₂ at over 99.9 percent purity. The resulting CO₂ can be permanently stored to generate certified negative emissions or used as a feedstock for climate-neutral products including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), methanol and food and beverage applications. The fully electrified process integrates directly with renewable energy sources and responds flexibly to grid conditions and power market prices.Ucaneo's first-of-a-kind industrial plant in Berlin (Germany), with a nameplate capacity of 150 metric tons of CO₂ per year, is set to become Germany's largest DAC facility upon commissioning in July 2026. The facility will be officially inaugured on July 2 in Berlin. Part of the captured CO₂ will be permanently stored in geological formations, making the facility Germany's first verified Direct Air Capture project combined with geological storage. This makes Ucaneo the first company in Germany — and one of few globally — to permanently store CO₂ captured through Direct Air Capture. A follow-on commercial plant with approximately ten times the capacity is already in the development stages starting construction next year. Automation and digital technology from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolioUnder the partnership, Siemens provides comprehensive support across process automation, instrumentation and analytics, drive technology and digitalization. Siemens' process simulation software and controllers are already deployed at Ucaneo’s pilot plant, complemented by automation consulting services from Siemens.For subsequent project phases, Siemens' advanced distributed control system Simatic PCS neo and additional simulation software are planned. These solutions will enable full process validation in a virtual environment before physical commissioning, thereby reducing technical risk during scale-up. The strategic objective is a standardized, modularly scalable automation template that can be replicated across future Ucaneo plants and those of licensed operators worldwide. This will help to accelerate global rollout while safeguarding capital efficiency at each deployment stage.“What Ucaneo has built is exactly what the energy transition needs: a Direct Air Capture process that is efficient, fully electrified, and ready for industrial scale,” said Christian Gückel, Head of Vertical Chemicals at Siemens Digital Industries. “Our role is to take that innovation from first plant to global rollout – through a standardized automation template that accelerates every subsequent deployment.” Florian Tiller, Co-founder & CEO of Ucaneo said: “Building the carbon economy requires scalable and reliable infrastructure. Siemens is a key partner in helping us standardize and automate DAC systems, enabling cost-effective deployment at industrial scale. Together, we are building the robust carbon removal infrastructure needed to scale from Germany’s first verified DAC and geological storage project to future deployments around the world."Growing demand for industrial CO₂The need for CO₂ as an input is growing across multiple industrial sectors – from sustainable aviation fuel and methanol production to food and beverage applications. Regulatory requirements are accelerating that trend: under the ReFuelEU initiative, e-kerosene must account for 1.2 percent of all jet fuel supplied at EU airports by 2030, rising to 35 percent by 2050. The EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) is establishing a certification system for permanent carbon removal credits. For DAC operators, this establishes a second commercial pathway alongside direct CO₂ sales.For this press release PDF DownloadLinks Siemens’ portfolio for the chemical industryFollow us at blog.siemens.com linkedin.com/siemens-industry linkedin.com/company/ucaneoSiemens Digital Industries (DI) empowers companies of all sizes within the process and discrete manufacturing industries to accelerate their digital and sustainability transformation across the entire value chain.

Expansion of production of high-efficiency power distribution systems for data centers, e-mobility and industrial automationExpansion of Frankfurt switchgear factory, new supplier facility in OffenbachCreation of up to 700 new jobs by end of 2030Commitment to Germany as a business location and to Made for Germany initiative Siemens is investing €300 million to significantly expand the production of key technologies for the global energy transition and for AI data centers. This strategic investment will enable the company to respond to massively increasing demand and further develop its position as a partner to world-leading cloud and AI companies.The investment is part of a move to expand Siemens’ global capacity. In March 2026, the company announced an investment of US$165 million in its U.S. factories to support the rapid growth of AI and data centers in the U.S. By expanding its manufacturing locations in Germany, Siemens is now taking a further step to secure the global supply of electrical switchgear. The investment encompasses a new supplier facility in Offenbach, Germany, and the expansion of the company’s two existing plants in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Construction will start in July 2026. Production at the supplier facility will begin in the spring of 2027. The investment will create up to 700 new jobs by the end of 2030.“This investment will enable us to strengthen our leading role in the technologies that will build the backbone of tomorrow’s industries,” said Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG. “The demand for smart electrification – whether for data centers, e-mobility or industrial automation – is growing worldwide. To meet it, we’re expanding a location that already stands for extraordinary flexibility and the highest level of variation diversity. Because competitiveness is created where technology, knowhow and human experience combine to provide customers with optimal solutions. This combination is precisely what makes this location strong. It’s also why we’re continuing to invest here.”Siemens has been producing electrical switchgear – which functions like a nerve center to distribute and optimally regulate power in factories and data centers – at its Frankfurt location for over 40 years. Demand for these systems is continuing to increase worldwide – driven by the development of e-mobility and data centers, the increasing electrification of factories and the growth of the technology industries. The rapid spread of AI, in particular, is accelerating investments in data center infrastructure and driving demand for efficient power distribution technologies. Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure Business booked record orders of €1.9 billion from data centers in Q2 2026. In the first half-year of 2026, the revenue generated by these technologies also soared more than 45 percent to €1.8 billion.“The data center market is booming worldwide with growth rates well above 10 percent,” said Peter Koerte, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “The next generation of data centers is already on its way. AI factories that produce only one product: intelligence. Large-scale industrial systems with huge energy requirements. None of this is possible without the next generation of switchgear: the technological core of the super brain of tomorrow’s industry. And we’re building it right here in Frankfurt.”As part of the investment, Siemens will lease and then expand an additional location in Offenbach, starting in July 2026. Production will begin in the spring of 2027. The company plans to gradually transfer preproduction from its main factory in Frankfurt to Offenbach, six kilometers away. Siemens will also expand its two plants in Frankfurt, where it will erect another manufacturing facility by the end of October 2027. These steps are intended to significantly increase switchgear production capacity. The up to 700 new jobs to be created by the end of 2030 will be distributed across all three locations – from jobs in administration to manufacturing and logistics.“This is a great signal for the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main region,” said Frankfurt mayor Mike Josef. “Frankfurt and its surroundings have shown yet again that they remain an attractive location for business and industry. Strengthening industrial production in the Rhine-Main region is also a welcome development. Manufacturing is a vital second pillar alongside the region’s strong financial sector. In a particularly positive development, the spaces that will become vacant at the main factory will be used to increase switchgear production capacity while final production will take place in Frankfurt. I’d like to thank all the participating authorities, companies – in particular, the business development organizations – and Siemens for their productive collaboration.”“Siemens’ new location in Offenbach demonstrates that industry has a future in Germany – if government, public administration and the business community cooperate closely and in a spirit of mutual trust,” said Dr. Felix Schwenke, mayor of the city of Offenbach am Main. “This new location has only become possible because we in Offenbach – partnering with the chamber of industry and commerce – have secured spaces for industry and trade in a targeted fashion. I’d like to thank Siemens for its trust and very concrete collaboration from the start. These new industrial jobs in a growing future-oriented sector will enable Offenbach to continue its upward trajectory of the past few years.”Siemens is the only company worldwide that produces medium-voltage and high-performance switchgear systems at a single location – with decades of experience in development, manufacturing, services, quality assurance, environmental management and test technology with an accredited test lab. The Frankfurt switchgear factory currently comprises two plants and employs around 2,800 people in production, research and development, and automation. The factory is not only the company’s global center of competence for gas-insulated switchgear; it is also a pioneer in switchgear that does not rely on the climate-damaging insulation gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆). Instead, the switchgear’s fluoride-gas-free solutions use clean air gas comprising natural components from the surrounding atmosphere. Siemens developed and marketed these solutions long before the enactment of the related EU directive. As a result, the company can now supply them to customers rapidly and in large numbers.This investment will enable Siemens to strengthen its commitment to Germany as a business location and to the Made for Germany initiative, whose 134 member businesses are pledged to sustainably strengthen the power of innovation, competitiveness and future-readiness. Between 2025 and the end of 2028, these businesses will jointly invest more than €800 billion in Germany.Press pictures Siemens switchgear plant in Frankfurt, Carl-Benz-Strasse Siemens switchgear plant in Frankfurt, DaimlerstrasseFor this press release PDF DownloadSiemens AG (Berlin and Munich) is a leading technology company focused on industry, infrastructure, mobility, and healthcare.
