Siemens bring’s the Industrial Metaverse to CES 2024

CES 2024, Siemens made a significant impression with their groundbreaking approach to the Industrial Metaverse. I was fortunate enough to attend the event and experience it in person, where I had the opportunity to watch the Siemens keynote and engage with several Siemens executives to gain insight into their vision during the event.

For Transparency, while I am a member of the Siemens Influencer Community (SIEx), this was not a paid collaboration, just ‘me being me’ while I was at CES 2024.

“And the change has a name, the #IndustrialMetaverse … Tonight I will share my vision for how AI and the Industrial Metaverse will redefine reality, and transform the way we live, work, move or make … and transform the every day, for everyone. The industrial metaverse is a virtual world, almost impossible to distinguish from the real world. An immersive space where people and AI can collaborate in real time to solve real-world problems. In other words, it’s a place where you combine the real and the digital worlds … A place for industrial innovations.”

“I know that for most of you, when you hear ‘#metaverse’, you think it’s where you go to escape the real world. For us at Siemens, the metaverse, actually the #industrialmetaverse, is where you go to make the real world better. It’s fundamentally empowering any one of you to turn your dreams into a world changing innovation…

Because when we talk about the industrial metaverse, when we talk about combining the real and the digital world and making those combined worlds accessible to everyone, it’s not just about the technology, but it’s actually about changing lives … It’s actually about changing the world.”
