Siemens to Help Build AI-Ready Scientific Infrastructure

Siemens has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support the Genesis Mission, a federal initiative to modernize America’s scientific infrastructure and strengthen the translation of research into real-world deployment through advanced AI, computing, and interoperable digital systems. The Genesis Mission seeks to accelerate discovery, strengthen lab-to-industry translation, and reinforce technological leadership across domains.

"The Genesis Mission’s goal of accelerating scientific discovery and scaling it in the real world is a perfect match for our core expertise: combining the real and the digital worlds," says Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG. "Our leadership in industrial AI and advanced simulation is proven in national laboratories and industrial ecosystems across the United States and worldwide. We look forward to contributing these capabilities to make the Genesis Mission a success."

Siemens’ expertise brings AI into the real world by uniting scientific data, physics-informed simulation, digital twins, automation systems, and secure infrastructure into a connected industrial tech stack. Rather than delivering isolated AI models or point solutions, Siemens integrates deep domain AI directly into engineering, validation, and operational workflows, enabling discoveries to be simulated, tested, validated, and deployed within the same interoperable digital environment. 

“Siemens has a long history of trusted partnership with the U.S. government, supporting scientific leadership and industrial competitiveness,” says Ann Fairchild, interim president and CEO, Siemens Corp. “The Genesis Mission represents an immense opportunity to modernize the digital infrastructure that underpins scientific discovery and innovation. Together with DOE and partners, we can strengthen the connection between research and real-world deployment, accelerating innovation across industry and infrastructure.”

By maintaining continuity from research to deployment, Siemens’ solutions ensure scalability across complex physical systems, helping translate research into real-world impact across energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and other domains. The integrated approach empowers the Genesis Mission to bridge the gap between advanced research and tangible impact.

Siemens will engage with DOE, interagency stakeholders, and private sector partners to explore collaboration on interoperable, secure, and industrial-grade digital infrastructure for science and engineering. This includes advancing AI-enabled simulation and digital twins, scientific data lifecycle governance, lab-to-deployment workflows, and the physical infrastructure required to support AI-intensive research environments.

Siemens’ participation builds on its engagement with DOE and the National Laboratories, as well as its commitment to advancing U.S. innovation, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Siemens Government Technologies, a wholly owned but distinct operating unit for Siemens in the United States, enables collaboration with government researchers across domains at all classification levels given its regulatory framework and certified procurement and accounting systems.
