2 Siemens and start-ups Siemens is ATTRACTIVE for start-ups As a look into the future As a way to access to innovative technologies For testing ideas for new businesses outside the Siemens organization Start-ups are IMPORTANT for Siemens As a close partner that opens up access To industry expertise To customers To technology and manufacturing expertise As an investor Sends a signal to other investors Because investments can lead to acquisitions Page 2

3 Our strategy for start-ups for more than 15 years Developing new ideas and new businesses Access to external innovations Foundation of start-ups Quickly and flexibly testing ideas for new businesses More than a dozen start-ups founded Contact with more than 1,000 young companies every year More than 20 cooperations with start-ups worldwide per year Cooperation with start-ups Investments in start-ups Connecting with innovative start-ups More than 800 million invested in more than 180 start-ups Page 3

5 We cooperate with start-ups freewire brings electricity to the electric car Instead of the car going to the charging station, the Mobi Charger brings electricity to the car. Mobile charging makes stationary charging stations obsolete, is flexible and reduces the burden on the power grid. The charging stations and software of Siemens are embedded in the Mobi Charger. freewire and Siemens are testing mobile charging at the Silicon Valley campus of LinkedIn. Founded in San Leandro, California, in 2014 Page 5

6 We found start-ups Caterva parking electricity, a key technology for the energy transition Caterva has invented a revolutionary energy management system. Using Caterva, households with photovoltaic systems can rent out a portion of their storage battery to power grid operators as an electricity parking spot. This way, power grid operators can "park" surplus electricity from renewable sources in an environmentally friendly manner and stabilize their grids. With the establishment of Caterva, Siemens gained new knowledge about the decentralization of the energy landscape Founded in Pullach (near Munich) in 2013 Page 6

7 We invest in start-ups Magazino supplies the perfect merchandise logistics for Industrie 4.0 Previously, only entire pallets and crates, not individual objects, could be removed automatically from warehouse facilities. Thanks to revolutionary robot technology, the Magazino robot can automatically transport individual objects from the warehouse to the work bench or packing station. In order to participate at an early stage in the development of these innovations, Siemens purchased an equity stake in Magazino in Founded in Munich in 2014 Page 7

8 We invest in start-ups thinkstep: Sustainability as business success thinkstep offers both software and services, including for EH&S (environment, health and safety) management, sustainability reporting, carbon management, environmental product design, product compliance and life-cycle assessment A holistic examination of economic, social and environmental questions extending throughout the value chain thinkstep works closely with the Siemens Digital Factory division Siemens invested in thinkstep in 2010 Acquired by management in 2001 Headquartered in Stuttgart, active in 19 countries Page 8
