Siemens leadership and employee representatives have addressed various strategic and economic challenges. CEO Roland Busch has advocated for increased labor productivity and flexibility in Germany, noting that while government reforms are a step forward, they do not resolve all issues. Busch is part of the ‘Made for Germany’ initiative, a group of companies pledging over €800 billion in investment by 2028.

Internally, the Siemens general works council has reviewed the company’s structural evolution. While the council criticized previous spin-offs of Siemens Healthineers and Siemens Energy under former CEO Joe Kaeser, it has expressed support for Busch’s current restructuring. This new strategy focuses on technological integration and Artificial Intelligence by unifying organizational structures and breaking down data silos.
