Siemens launches digitalisation roadshow across Middle East

Abu Dhabi: Siemens has launched a Digitalization Roadshow across the Middle East, bringing together leaders from government, private sector and education to develop a road map for digitalisation implementation.

The first two roadshows will take place in the UAE, followed by events in Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt, according to a statement.

The roadshows will examine the regional impact of digitalisation technologies such as the internet of Things (IoT), the Digital Enterprise, Cyber Security and Additive Manufacturing, and investigate the relevant implementation strategies.

The roadshows follow a report by Siemens and Strategy& on the state of digitalisation in the Middle East, which found that while 85 per cent of organisations believe digitalisation technologies will increase the efficiency of their businesses, just 3 per cent consider themselves at an advanced stage in their digital transformation.
