At Hannover Messe 2025, Accenture and Siemens announced an extension of their strategic partnership in the form of the Accenture Siemens Business Group, an Accenture-based joint business unit that will employ 7,000 professionals with manufacturing and IT expertise worldwide.
The group will develop software-defined products and factories, combining industrial technology with AI-supported engineering and manufacturing expertise. To achieve this, the group will leverage the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio for automation, industrial AI, and software, as well as Accenture’s data and AI expertise, to help companies redesign their engineering and manufacturing processes.
Digitalization of manufacturing
Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG, extolled the advantages of the partnership: “Two market leaders bring together their unique capabilities: technology, data access, and strong expertise in software, automation, and industrial AI — and Accenture’s strength, data, and AI in engineering and manufacturing.”
