Siemens projects in London

16 Martin Powell
For us, it’s understanding what it takes for businesses to
invest in London, what conditions we need to put in place
to make that happen. Ensuring our policies align with the
business conditions that are of importance to a company
like Siemens, to guarantee that we make businesses aware
in London of what we’re trying to do, and how maybe to
merge our awareness campaigns to promote London’s
reputation as a business and investment location. For the
future, I hope that Siemens continues to invest in the tech-
nology they have today and implement that into London
right now. I think the London government needs to make
some big infrastructure decisions today in order to allow
even more investment into these areas fifteen years from
now, particularly our energy supply, which is often a longer-
term, more difficult investment proposition to make.

We’re just taking the first steps. We have realized a lot of
projects in London. Going forward, I think there is a huge
amount more of what we can do, especially around trans-
portation infrastructure and energy generation.
